As part of the AIS Conference (Sustainable Israel: A Changing Society in the 21st Century, June 1-3), the film Shattered Rhymes: the Life and Poetry of Erez Bitton will be screened on Monday, June 1 at 9:30 am.
Shattered Rhymes: the Life and Poetry of Erez Bitton
Written & Directed by Sami Shalom Chetrit
The film is a cinematic portrait of Jewish-Moroccan Israeli-based renowned poet Erez Bitton, and of his acclaimed poetry. A successor of the legacies of North-African poetizing and a pioneering predecessor of Mizrahi poetry in Israel, Bitton travels through the important landmarks of his, his family’s, and his generation’s, lived histories, shares from his experiences as a blind person, and reads from his musical, critical, multifaceted poetry.
There is also a second viewing of the film, with a discussion afterwards, on June 1st at 3:45 pm.
