    Description:

    Join The Department of Jewish Studies for Dr. Olga Gershenson’s talk New Israeli Horror: Local Cinema, Global Genre on Mon, Oct 6, 5:30 pm at Isabel Bader Centre.

    Before 2010, there were no Israeli horror films. The next decade saw a blossoming of the genre by young Israeli filmmakers. New Israeli Horror is the first book to tell their story and analyze their films, from inception to reception. What triggered this sudden development? Why did Israeli filmmakers turn to horror? How do their films portray Israel? What kind of horror scenarios do they depict and how?

    This presentation will grapple with these questions, which are particularly poignant now, in light of the attack on October 7 and the ensuing wars, which pitted the real-life horrors against the fictional ones.
