Dialogue with Joseph (2016)

Yosef Yosade, a Lithuanian landscape artist, has worked for many years in Israel. His daughter Elzbieta has set the camera on him to capture the nuances of his creative process. Artfully framed static scenes of the master at work, in contemplation, or absorbed in discussions reveal the painter's distinctive approach based on searching for the visual structure of a landscape. The director also presents visual depictions of landscapes in mutual conflict with their filmed versions, thereby linking the "abstract" and "concrete" perspectives. The film therefore reflects not only individual creation, but also examines the relationship between two specific media.
