A trailer has debuted for the Berlin International Film Festival premiering documentary 1341 Frames of Love and War. The film is a documentary portrait of one of the world’s most important living war photographers, Micha Bar-Am, and premieres in the Berlinale Special section of the festival, which kicks off this week.
Born in Berlin in 1930, Israeli photojournalist Bar-Am became an internationally recognized photographer in the 1960’s. Today, at the age of 91, he looks at his photographs anew, wondering aloud with emotion and urgency why he photographed, and what his images reflect about humanity and history. ‘Frames’ is an examination of his remembrance as he grapples with the ethics of documenting war imagery and how it has affected him.
Composed entirely of archival images taken by this acclaimed Israeli photo-journalist over fifty years, his illustrious career is recounted as a dual voice-over: that of Micha and his wife Orna, the dedicated archivist who has become her husband’s memory.
This film is written and directed by internationally celebrated Israeli filmmaker Ran Tal (Children of the Sun, The Museum, The Garden of Eden, What If? Ehud Barak on War and Peace).
Here’s the trailer.
