shlomi eldar, israeli filmmaker

This week, Ami Pedahzur and the Schusterman Center for Jewish Studies hosted Israeli journalist and filmmaker Shlomi Eldar. Shlomi is an award-winning craftsman. He specializes in telling the complex story of human-beings trapped in the Israeli-Palestinian crisis. 

It was a privilege to host him. In the very near future, Shlomi will be working on his third book project. During that time, we hope to host him at the University of Texas at Austin. We are currently looking around for additional financial support, possibly from the School of Journalism, the Government Department, and elsewhere. He would be a wonderful resource on campus.

Shlomi Eldar has interviewed many of the key leaders of Hamas. He is one of the very few Israeli journalists to have done so. In his journalism, images play a key role, for they transcend politics and achieve a higher truth. As he says, "You cannot argue with an image." 21 January 2014.
