JIFF: 1341 Frames of Love and War

"A tour-de-force." - Modern Times Review

Composed of images taken by the acclaimed photo-journalist Micha Bar-Am over more than fifty years, 1341 Frames of Love and War reveals the enormous price that comes along with documenting wars. Born in Berlin in 1930, Bar-Am found his vocation as a new immigrant in Israel in the early 1950s. His now iconic photographs depict images of the struggles of a new nation and its ongoing conflicts, as well as personal images of his family in the most private of moments. Providing an intimate portrait of an artist and his country, 1341 Frames of Love and War offers a thought-provoking meditation on memory, violence and identity.
