The sixth International Conference on Israeli and International documentary filmmaking is scheduled for July 18, 2017 as part of the Jerusalem International Film Festival. The mission of the conference is to bring together filmmakers and scholars of various disciplines to think jointly about issues central to Israeli documentary filmmaking and on its linkages to contemporary international filmmaking. Given the recent surge in the number of documentaries made by women in Israel as well as world-wide, this year, the conference will focus on the female gaze in documentary filmmaking.
The conference is organized by Orna Raviv (Shenkar College), Shai Ginsburg (Duke University), Avner Faingulernt (Sapir College), Elad Samorzik (Jerusalem Cinematheque) and Osnat Trabelsy (Documentary Filmmakers' Forum).
