Mission & Strategy
The School for Audio and Visual Arts is characterized by its emphasis on politically conscious film and the artist’s personal statement. The history, language and theories of film are taught, as well as analysis and criticism. Special attention is paid to the social-artistic aspects of “Third Cinema”—the cinema of the Third World, of the southern hemisphere and of Israel; Exile Cinema, Experimental Cinema and Avant-Garde Cinema, as well as documentary films. In this way, the program is markedly different from other such programs on offer in Israel.
The special location of the College, in an area where veteran immigrants from all over the world and new immigrants from the former Soviet Union countries and Ethiopia live, provides a unique and appropriate context for a program such as this. We wish to give place and voice to those communities and individuals who are unheard and invisible for the mainstream discourse.
