SELECTED SCREENINGS

HotDocs Canadian International Documentary Festival (2005)

Imagination, memories and fiction all mixed together portraying the world and life of the Israeli writer Aharon Appelfeld. The film revolves around the renown author's daily pilgrimages to the Anna Ticho House in Jerusalem, whose café he uses as a study and a meeting place with friends and colleagues. Appelfeld's dramatic personal story is enriched by excerpts from his writings with an attempt to understand the creative process.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM

"Appelfeld's Table beautifully transmits the humanity, optimism and joy of living with which Applefeld, both the writer and the ordinary person, managed to emerge from the horrors he endured as a youngster. At the same time, it is a film about the making of the Israeli collective and of the creative struggle that awaits those who refuse to automatically assimilate."
