More Than 1000 Words
Solo Avital
  (Israel)

This movie is not about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict; it's a movie about Ziv Koren, internationally awarded photographer and man's struggle with the history of a fierce war, in which he is involved on a daily basis, and the place he finds for himself in it. The movie does not seek history through the photographer's lens - it seeks the photographer through the lens of history and the universal through the most intimate personal.

Participated at Cannes and Berlin festival. This is a North American premiere. Film will appear at Seattle International film festival in June 2006, and is nominated for best feature documentary film. Also nominated in Shanghai for best TV film and Best Social Documentary film.
