How to Tell a Jerusalem Story with Eshkol Nevo and Eyal Benbenisty | Jerusalem Sessions

Описание: Jerusalem is often portrayed through a familiar set of images: religious, ancient, and conflict-ridden. Renowned writer Eshkol Nevo, and Eyal Benbenisty, Director of the Jerusalem Media Initiative, both Jerusalemites- look at the city’s more subtle and unexpected layers.

In this conversation with Movie Eaters, they reflect on Jerusalem as a character, the nuances of portraying the city on screen, and the effort to encourage new series that present a broader portrait of the city. Nevo also shares his experience moving from writing novels to developing a television series set in Jerusalem- following the lives of its characters across decades.

Movie Eaters is a podcast about cinema, philosophy, and everything in between, hosted by Nitay Dagan, Liad Herman, and Arnon Rosenthal.

Jerusalem Sessions, a project of the Jerusalem Media Initiative, was held for the first time in December 2025, bringing together creatives and entertainment industry leaders in Israel to explore the future of storytelling in turbulent times.
