A House in Jerusalem

One of Amos Gitai's first films, House, a documentary he made for Israeli television in 1978, was banned. 20 years later, Gitai returned to the scene of that documetary to make "A House in Jerusalem". Through interviews with current occupants, former occupants, neighbors, and passersby, he manages to capture, not just the specific nature of living in such a turbulent time, in a disputed place, but a larger vision of the city and its place in the world.
