Gilad Baram is an Israeli photographer, visual artist and documentarian. His 2015 film “Koudelka Shooting Holy Land” follows iconic Czech photographer Josef Koudelka’s journey through Israel and Palestine as he captures the essence of that conflicted land. Tiller begins the discussion explaining how he thinks this film achieves rigorous artistic singularity (2:30), before Gilad shares why this was never meant to be a film (10:30), Koudelka’s surprising documentation of the West Bank border (20:00), how a foreign Czech photographer helped him look at his homeland of Israel in a new way (27:00), and the importance of still photography in our increasingly digital world (35:00).
