Exhibition presentation

In situ exhibition dedicated to the life and work of Amos Gitai, an Israeli architect who became a filmmaker after an accident and who is preoccupied with representing memory and history.

This exhibition presented over 200 authentic objects over 300m² on the 7th floor of the Cinémathèque française. Among these objects, sketches, photographs, graphic installations and documents from the director’s personal archives. It thus paid tribute to his work which covers different arts (theatre, installation…) and is nourished by the different cultures encountered during his travels, often transgressing the codes of established film genres (war film, epic film...). It also explored his relationship to poetry and mythology as well as the way his work is rooted in contemporary history and his political standpoints. “A trained architect, Gitai has retained from this education an aptness at providing an overview of a territory. He is a topographer of the sensitive. […] As said in the Ecclesiastes often quoted in his films: ‘A time to search and a time to give up; a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend’”. (Cinémathèque française website).

Exhibition sponsored by Neuflize OBC and Groupama.
