Considered by MoMA as one of the most innovative films of 2013, Footsteps in Jerusalem is an anthology of ten short films that collectively offer an evocative portrait of the city—its diversity, complexity, and rapid transformation. It is also a tribute to the history of Israeli film, in particular to David Perlov, the forefather of modern Israeli documentary cinema, and to his 1963 revolutionary film In Jerusalem, made a few years before the ’67 War, in a divided city. Renowned Israeli filmmakers—such as David Ofek (No. 17, A Hebrew Lesson) and Nadav Lapid (Policeman)—as well as current film students, respond to Perlov’s film (which appears here in its entirety) and to the city of Jerusalem as it exists today.
