En savoir plus sur le livre
Jews have significantly influenced the development of cinema, and this book catalogs over 1,200 films that explore Jewish history, culture, personalities, and issues. The entries are sourced from various global references, including personal correspondence with filmmakers. It encompasses a wide range of film types, such as documentaries, foreign language films, Hollywood features, mini-series, dramas, educational films, and Yiddish cinema. The timeline of coverage stretches from Wallace McCutcheon's silent film, Old Isaac, the Pawnbroker (1907), to Erwin Leiser's upcoming film, The Class of 1940/Jahrgang 1940, set for release in 1992. It includes a variety of formats, from short films like Evald Schrom's 12-minute Psalm/Zalm to Dan Curtis's extensive 18-hour War and Remembrance. The second part features comprehensive indexes that cross-reference films by subject (e.g., Amsterdam, the Six Day War), director, country of production (spanning at least 28 nations), and source material. Additionally, the volume lists Jewish film festivals and provides addresses for archives and institutes, along with a bibliography. This resource is invaluable for filmographers, historians, researchers, students, libraries, and film enthusiasts.
