A clip from Yona Zarecky’s film which presents a portrait of the renowned Israeli painter Moshe Castel, one of the founders of the Ofakim Hadashim art movement, which marked a new direction for new art in Israel. The film follows Castels development as an Israeli painter along major milestones in his career. In the following clip, Castel explains his contribution to the founding of Ofakim Hadashim art movement in 1948, and how the search for innovation in art was the driving force in establishing the movement, and also a driving force in his development as a painter throughout his long career. His choice of Kabbalistic Jewish mysticism and the world of symbols was also a result of his search for novelty and a new language for his art (director and script: Yona Zarecky, producers: Yigal Efrati and Shmuel Altman, editor: Lina Kadish, cinematography: Victor Belkopitov, narrators: Michael Greenspan and Reuven Miller, soundtrack: Zvi Avni, narration text: Nitza Maliniak).
