AMOS OZ: THE NATURE OF DREAMS

Israel/Germany, Documentary, 2009, directed by Masha und Yonathan Zur, Hebrew & English with German subtitles, 86”

May 26 | 6:00 PM | Kino Arsenal

Rarely do the personal and political merge with such eloquence as in the literature of prize-winning Israeli author Amos Oz, whose books have been translated into more than 40 languages. Two young filmmakers followed the writer for nearly two years to offer an intimate glimpse of a charming yet outspoken luminary who refuses to compromise his dream of peaceful co-existence between Israelis and Palestinians. This award-winning film portrays a life that reflects the realms of tragic history and fervent hope through fiction and reality. With appearances by Paul Auster, Nadine Gordimer, Sari Nusseibeh, and Salman Rushdie. First full-length screening in Germany.

Guests: Masha and Yonathan Zur
