Renowned American-born, Jerusalem-based poet Shirley Kaufman gives an electrifying reading of her new work, a contemplation of longing and the nature of true seeing. The elegiac poem ("wheels and their turnings/can the mind provide/what the eye will/never") is inspired by Kaufman's struggle with loss of sight as eye surgery left her experiencing visions like those of the exiled prophet Ezekiel.
Directors will be in attendance in all screenings.
