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.
