Description
Summary:Wilkins, and Hamid Naficy for their genuine interest in this work; to Abraham Marcus, whose advice, collegiality, and friendship I truly cherish; to Charles Ramírez Berg, the committee co-chair, for his continued support and guidance. Special thanks to John Downing (J.D.), co-chair, whose wisdom and judgment I have sought in the different stages and permutations of this work. I am indebted to him for more than showing me the way, he taught me there is more than one way. Thanks to: My long-time acquaintance Elizabeth Fernea (B.J.), with whom I consulted along the way, but who, for unexpected reasons, could not be involved in this study’s last phase; my colleagues Avraham Zilkha, Esther Raizen, Adam Newton, and Yair Mazor for their encouragement; and Sami Shalom Chetrit whose work and activism have been inspirational to me. My dear friend in Israel, Daphna Amit Selbst, whose friendship of over 30 years(!) naturally transpires in this work and to my amiga Vanessa Fonseca in Costa Rica whose insightful comments I have always welcomed. My parents who spoiled me on my two research trips to Israel but also made sure that I do not indulge too much and produce too little. I am grateful to the staff at the Jerusalem Cinematheque/Israel Film Archive for their expertise and professionalism and, specifically, to Costel Safirman, Ilil Barak, Nirit Eidelman, Michal Mendelboym, and Avi Green, all at the Cinematheque’s library; to
