Overview"Alan Rosenthal presents a behind-the-scenes look at the life of a documentary filmmaker. Rosenthal has made over 60 films, including """"Day of Peace"""", """"Out of the Ashes"""" and """"A Nation is Born"""", and through this, he has witnessed much of Israeli history over the last part of the 20th century. Rosenthal studied law at Oxford before beginning his work in television directing. In the 1960s he was part of a team invited by the Israeli government to set up the first television network there, and here he stayed for more than 30 years. Over this period, the Eichmann trial, the Oslo Agreement, the search for the menorah from the Second Temple, the Yom Kippur war and Project Renewal are but a few of the moments of Israeli history that Rosenthal and his camera have witnessed. In this text, he recalls these events with humour and wit, but Rosenthal himself is the true subject of this intensely personal history."

Table of ContentsReviewsJerusalem, Take One! is so lively, so well-observed and well-written that I am sure it will find readers well beyond the academic community where Alan Rosenthal's facility and scholarship have already won him great respect. . . . While he does go into some detail about the 'business' of making documentary films, he avoids professional minutiae, rather using this involvement to create the world in which he learns the realities of Israel's media politics as it (and he) confront the gatekeepers in the U.S. and Western Europe who determine what the rest of us see on TV and read in the press. --George C. Stoney, Goddard Professor of Cinema, Tisch School of the Arts, New York University Readers interested in a human, rather than a political, perspective will find that as Rosenthal chronicles the important films he s made about important moments in Israel s history (Day of Peace: Out of the Ashes).
