Special Screening: Mira – A Journey Through the Pathways of Memory

Please join us at the Tel Aviv-Jaffa City Museum for a screening of the film Mira, an intimate and moving exploration of the world of Mira Perlov, widow of celebrated Israeli filmmaker and recipient of the Israel Prize, David Perlov.

The film, directed by Mira’s granddaughter and the recipient of the 2023 Epos Festival Award, paints a vivid portrait of 90-year-old Mira, showcasing their close bond that unravels over time. The film dives deeply into memories and experiences, shedding light on Mira Perlov's character within the context of her family and the broader history of Israeli cinema.

Mira offers viewers a unique glimpse into a personal and complex reality inextricably intertwined with Israeli cinematic history. The film beautifully captures the magic of Tel Aviv through the perspectives of its most influential creators. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this exciting experience.

Mira’s reflection during the film: "As long as I can still enjoy beautiful days here in Tel Aviv..." - expresses a sentiment shared by David Perlov in his documentary work, which captures the city and its daily life through the lens of a camera turning his visual journals into unparalleled cinematic events.

The special screening of "Mira" is being held following the passing of Mira, who passed away last week. This event serves as an opportunity to honor her memory and reflect on her unique contribution to the world of cinema.

The screening will be accompanied by a discussion about the film with Yael Perlov and Alma Ben-Ze’ev, focusing on the connection between the parents’ generation and the grandchildren’s generation, as well as David Perlov’s influence on Israeli and global cinema.

This film by David Perlov is the inspiration for the call for proposals on the subject of Urban Diary—a collaborative project by the Tel Aviv-Jaffa City Museum and the Epos Festival
