Yoman (Diary)

Documentary film based on the life of Israeli filmmaker David Perlov (born in 1930 in Rio de Janeiro and died in 2003 in Tel-Aviv, Israel). Perlov is considered to be one of the most prominent filmmakers in Israeli cinema and perhaps the founder of the Israeli documentary cinema. He became internationally famous for his Cinematic Essays and, above all, for his film "Diary". The documentary has 6 episodes, 55 minutes each, and was shot over a ten-year period (1973-1983). David Perlov: "I deal with documentary filmmaking and not with fiction. The circumstances of my cinematic life led me to documentary film, but I also love the genre very much. I am one of the first to make a documentary in the style of a diary. I always had the urge to write an imaginary autobiography that would be pictorial, and when I got the chance to make Diary, I saw in it the possibility to trace these autobiographical trails."
