A Film by Anat Zeltser & Modi Bar-On (Israel, 2009, 37 Minutes, Color, Hebrew, English Subtitles)
If you liked the film “Tel Aviv – Jaffa” and are intrigued as to the continuation of the city’s story from the establishment of the State of Israel to the present, you can view an additional 37 minutes by Anat Zeltser, Modi Bar-On and Gabriel Bibliowicz.
This added segment shows how Tel Aviv loses its title as capital city to its rival Jerusalem, how it consumes Jaffa in its midst and how it rediscovers its past after years of decline to become a World Heritage site and global metropolis. At the same time it is dubbed “The Tel Aviv Bubble” because of its supposedly hedonistic alienation from the bitter problems of the rest of the country.
Modi Bar-On continues as our guide, the archive is still rich and rare and the quotes are surprising and enlightening.
