Hollywood and Landscapes of 'The Orient' (part 2)
Jaffa was the backdrop for numerous Israeli and American films from the 1960s to the 1990s. In Recollection, Kamal Aljafari edited out the Israeli actors to give room to the people who appear by chance in the background of the footage, calling it ‘cinematic justice’.

Trembling Landscapes
