Israel Palestina på Svensk TV 1958–1989 titles and poster
From 1958 to 1989, reporters from Swedish public service television (SVT) were constantly present in Israel and Palestine, documenting everything from everyday life to international crises. Göran Hugo Olsson’s new archive-based documentary, where footage of the rise of the Israeli state is interwoven with the Palestinian struggle for independence, tells the story of a changed media landscape and offers perspectives to a conflict that continues to affect our time like few others. Along with contemporary music and editing, graphic design by Malmsten Hellberg makes up the film’s framework.
The title is set in Zuzana Licko’s Lo-Res from 1985, which adds another level of current history. It’s complemented by Lyon from Commercial Type. The film had its world premiere at the 81st Venice Film Festival and the poster design was revealed at Cineropa.
