Cinematheque 50: The First Program

Cinematheque 50: The First Program

"In honor of the opening of the Cinematheque, we are screening eight masterpieces of cinema during the first week, selected based on a poll we conducted among critics and film professionals."

This announcement was made in the first program upon the opening of the Jerusalem Cinematheque at Beit Agron on Friday, April 18, 1975.

The eight films selected were:

Hiroshima mon amour by Alain Resnais | The Seventh Seal by Ingmar Bergman | 8 1/2 by Federico Fellini | Battleship Potemkin by Sergei Eisenstein | Ugetsu Monogatari by Kenji Mizoguchi | Citizen Kane by Orson Welles and the two short films: A Day in the Country by Jean Renoir and La Jetée by Chris Marker.

To mark the 50th anniversary of the Cinematheque, we will be screening the first six films from this list this month.

In the coming months, we will be holding a tribute to Chris Marker, which will include a screening of his classic film La Jetée. As a result, we have chosen to forgo the short film A Day in the Country and instead will screen a full-length film by Jean Renoir, equally beautiful and perhaps somewhat relevant: The Grand Illusion.

We hope you enjoy!

Citizen Kane

Dir.: Orson Welles
| 119 minutes

A group of reporters are trying to decipher the last word ever spoken by millionaire newspaper tycoon Charles Foster Kane: “Rosebud.” As the reporters investigate further, the viewers see a display of the fascinating man’s rise to fame, and how he eventually fell off the “top of the world.” A stunning film in every way.

Seventh Seal

The Seventh Seal

Dir.: Ingmar Bergman
| 90 minutes

Inspired by ever-present death, a knight returning from the crusades finds nothing but gloom and hopelessness until he comes across a band of traveling players living simple lives. The Seventh Seal is a defining film in Bergman’s career – an existential work that brings Bergman’s style to perfection.

Battleship Potemkin with Live Music

Marking the 50th anniversary of the Cinematheque's opening, we are proud to present one of the first films ever screened, accompanied by live music from 'Reseketz,' Eran Tzamit's 'ambient songwriting' project

Battleship Potemkin

Dir.: Sergei Eisenstein
| 70 minutes

Based on the historical mutiny aboard a battleship during the abortive 1905 Revolution, Eisenstein’s Battleship Potemkin is considered one of the best films ever made. The landmark sequence filmed on the Odessa steps is possibly the most famous scene of all time.
