                 In the narration 
                that accompanies his film Tel Katzir, David Perlov calls 
                it "a reportage" - a term almost unknown then, in Israel 
                of the pre-TV era. "I wanted to look at native born Israelis 
                without their symbolic and mythological attributes, which was 
                not common at the time", said Perlov, "I wanted to look 
                at them with simplicity, in a straightforward manner, as they 
                really were". He chose kibbutz Tel Katzir, on the Northern 
                border of Israel, whose members were from the Scouts movement, 
                free of any particular party ideology. It took the raw curiosity 
                of a newcomer, and a total absence of preconception, to reach 
                this simple artistic insight.  
                For Israeli cinema this was a new mode of looking.
