We are pleased to bring you the Best of the Fest from this season’s San Francisco Jewish Film Festival. We are featuring three must-see films throughout the month of February.
About 1341 Frames of Love and War-
See a beautifully laid out story of Israel’s struggles and victoies, told though the negatives of Israel’s most celebrated war photographer Micha Bar-Am, who for decades was the country’s photo correspondent for The New York Times. For a year and a half, he and his archivist wife Orna allowed director Ran Tal to enter their vast archive. As they mine this extraordinary trove of over 500,000 photos, the film seamlessly intertwines a historical narrative of a country with Bar-Am’s personal reflections on the psychological and personal toll of bearing witness to multiple wars. 1341 Frames of Love and War is a complex love letter to the beauty and horror of photographic imagery and to the country whose image Bar-Am helped shape.
