Description
Summary:Two thematically linked films, House (Bayit) (48 min. : sound, black and white ; 1980) and A House in Jerusalem (Une maison à Jerusalem) (90 min. : sound, color ; 1998) explore the history of a house in the city's German Colony and the changes in ownership it has undergone as a microcosm for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Produced yet censored by Israel Broadcasting Authority, the first film House (Bayit) (1980) chronicles the inhabitants of the house, abandoned during the 1948 war by a Palestinian doctor and requisitioned by the Israeli government as "vacant." Eighteen years later, Gitai returns in A House in Jerusalem (1998) to observe the changes in the new residents as well as in the neighborhood.
