An exhibition of photographs at the Jerusalem Cinematheque aims to restore honor to women who have been forgotten and sidelined in the history of Israeli cinema. The exhibit, titled "The First Women of Israeli Cinema," is being presented as part of the International Women's Film Festival in Jerusalem, which opens this evening at the Cinematheque's gallery.
The exhibition seeks to rectify the historical injustice where women in all fields and roles were pushed to the margins, leaving the main stage and relevant pages in history books to men. This phenomenon was not unique to cinema or specifically to Israel, but the exhibit focuses on correcting this oversight within the context of Israeli filmmaking.
