In this era of digital archives\, Gitai decided early on to pl ace his work at well-known international institutions\, among them Stanfor d and the National Library of France. The Gitai archive at Stanford is cha racterized by its historical depth\, featuring eight films spanning the ye ars 1980 to 2014\, as well as multimedia works from the 2020s. It contains 10.5 terabytes of photographs\, screenplays\, scripts\, letters\, and sho oting reports. Also included are rushes\, early cuts\, subtitles\, scores\ , and post-production documents revealing traces of the artistic process. \n\nThe House trilogy (1980\, 1998\, 2005) revolves around a house in West Jerusalem—its successive inhabitants\, their descendants\, and the peop le who worked on it. It brings the memory this house bears to the eyes and ears of old and new generations\, those who have stayed and those who hav e scattered\, from the new arrivals from Turkey to the descendants of the Palestinian family now settled in Jordan\, zooming out from a close-up of the house to encompass the entire geopolitical fate of the region. Whereas the House trilogy has historical depth and spans several generations\, th e Borders trilogy—comprising Promised Land (2004)\, Free Zone (2005)\, a nd Disengagement (2007)—was created over a shorter timeframe. These two trilogies\, one documentary and one fiction\, enter into a type of resonan ce. News from Home / News from House and Free Zone were shot simultaneousl y in 2004 and share images\, cover the same geography and history\, and bo th deal with porous memory and its gradual disintegration. The Gitai archi ve at Stanford also contains the archives of the films Plus Tard Tu Compre ndes (One Day You’ll Understand) (2008) and Tsili (2014). Both are adapt ations of literary works by contemporary authors. Both raise questions abo ut the transmission of Holocaust memory in a European context\, as well as cinematographic and ethical questions about how to film the words of othe rs. \n\nGitai’s work on the Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin\, part of his archives at the National Library of France\, showcased in a forthco ming book published by Stanford University Libraries\, could be described as a series of palimpsests\, an endless process of revision and editing to understand precisely what happened and what was lost with Rabin’s assas sination. And it is also an aesthetic journey\, like House\, a decades-lon g exploration of broad histories told through focus on a single figure. Wi th this exhibition\, we invite you to explore Gitai’s archive at Stanfor d and beyond.\n\nThis exhibition is curated by Ayda Melika and Eitan Kensk y with texts by Marie-José Sanselme and Marie-Pierre Ulloa\; produced by Deardra Fuzzell\, with assistance from Elizabeth Fischbach and Pasha Tope.

In this era of digital archives\, Gitai decided early on to pl ace his work at well-known international institutions\, among them Stanfor d and the National Library of France. The Gitai archive at Stanford is cha racterized by its historical depth\, featuring eight films spanning the ye ars 1980 to 2014\, as well as multimedia works from the 2020s. It contains 10.5 terabytes of photographs\, screenplays\, scripts\, letters\, and sho oting reports. Also included are rushes\, early cuts\, subtitles\, scores\ , and post-production documents revealing traces of the artistic process. \n\nThe House trilogy (1980\, 1998\, 2005) revolves around a house in West Jerusalem—its successive inhabitants\, their descendants\, and the peop le who worked on it.

Whereas the House trilogy has historical depth and spans several generations\, th e Borders trilogy—comprising Promised Land (2004)\, Free Zone (2005)\, a nd Disengagement (2007)—was created over a shorter timeframe.
