"Printed Matter" simply shows an exquisite selection of contact sheets including memorable events such as the First and Second Intifada, the assassination of Yitzchak Rabin and the birth of Sirah Foighel Brutmann. Instead of using formatted captions, the filmmakers choose for the impromptu voice comment by the first witness to these histories: Hanne Foighel, freelance journalist, reminisces on the past while browsing through its records and getting her memory triggered. As if it were a fragile time capsule steered by her provident off-screen voice, "Printed Matter" takes its viewers on a still yet penetrating excursion into the intimacies of political history and the politics of intimate lives.

 

Sirah Foighel Brutmann (graduated P.A.R.T.S, Brussels, 2008) and Eitan Efrat (graduated Rietveld Academie, Amsterdam, 2011) are working in collaboration for several years, under the name of Til Far. They have created works in fields of video, film and performance. Their audiovisual works have been shown at filmfestivals as IDFA (NL), Media City (CN), Oberhausen (DE), Courtisane (BE), on television (Arte) and in exhibition as EMAF (DE) and Petah Tikva Museum (IL).
