An inward odyssey through Israel, 2005—undertaken in the footsteps of the celebrated French filmmaker Chris Marker and his internationally acclaimed film Description of a Struggle (1960). In that work, Marker contemplates fragments of everyday life in a twelve-year-old nation, wandering its landscapes with exquisite observational sensitivity and a distinctly poetic cinematic language. His piercing gaze fashions a crisp mirror of a nascent country whose very being provokes unsettling questions about its spiritual and moral identity.Forty-five years later, filmmaker Dan Geva retraces Marker’s journey, composing a cinematic letter of response—Description of a Memory (2006). At once a filmic voyage and a philosophical meditation, it unfolds as a constellation of thirteen impressionistic memories—moments that dwell not only within the time and space of Israel–2005 but also reverberate backward and forward across the continuum of Jewish–Israeli consciousness, as well as through Geva’s own artistic past.Geva reimagines Israel—filming it anew, differently—pursuing the seen and unseen haunting images Marker once framed. He dismantles the symbols that Marker’s camera recorded, reducing them to “insignificant details,” revealing within them the quiet tremors of transformation—those unforeseen, dramatic mutations time alone could conceive.
