Speakers: 
Eran Kaplan
Eran Kaplan is the Rhoda and Richard Goldman Chair in Israel Studies at San Francisco State University. At SF State, Professor Kaplan teaches courses on Modern Israel, the Arab-Israeli Conflict, Israeli Cinema, Modern Hebrew Culture and on the History of Jerusalem. In this presentation, we will watch clips and discuss films that span nearly eight decades—from pre-State Zionist documentaries to contemporary depictions of life in Israel. In particular, we will explore how the image of the protagonists of Israeli films have evolved over the years—from the Zionist pioneer to the conflicted soldier to Orthodox Jews who are questioning their place in the modern world.
