Trailer: The Viewing Booth (2021)

A film by Ra'anan Alexandrowicz, THE VIEWING BOOTH screens in theater at MoMI and in Virtual Cinema, August 6–15, 2021. http://movingimage.us/viewingbooth In a lab-like editing suite, Alexandrowicz invites a series of viewers to watch and comment upon videos portraying life in the occupied West Bank, before fixing on Maia, a young Jewish American woman whose responses prove compelling, thoughtful, varied, and disconcerting enough to warrant a repeat visit. Alexandrowicz allows viewers to wrestle and identify with the issues that surface, echoing with a worldwide media crisis in which measures of truth have been utterly destabilized. The Museum's Virtual Cinema presentation also includes Alexandrowicz's earlier films The Law in These Parts (2012) and The Inner Tour (2002).
