Documentary and propaganda films, also Lazar Dünner: separate pages?
[edit]It would be useful, as there are piles of material. Lazar Dünner, often spelled Dunner, also Lasar, might deserve his own page, then this material could be moved to that page. He seems typical for this industry. Shot a colour (!!) film in 1937, then I could find nothing till 1949, when he started churning them out in heaps. If all else about him needs to be removed (I know, it's too much), please keep the 1937 Degania film: it's a) quite an early example of this genre, 2) posted online (only the title is missing), and 3) in colour, which makes it look far more recent than it actually is. Plus "the 1st kibbutz" 27-28 years after being established is an interesting topic. Arminden (talk) 11:28, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
Done. I moved the excessive material here, for safe-keeping :)
Lazar Dünner (most often spelled Dunner; 1912-1994). Dünner first worked as a cinematographer, gradually moving into other film-making tasks - director (dir.), producer (prod.), editor (ed.) and script-writer. He shot films such as "A Day in Degania" (15 min., 1937),[1], "Immigrants" (1949),[2] "Design for Israel" (20 min., 1950), "A Tuft of Grass" (25 min., 1951), "Where the future begins" (25 min., 1951), "Where the Future Reigns" (25 min., 1951), "Israel Diary" (30 min., 1952; also prod.), "Window on Jerusalem" (14.5 min., 1953; also dir.), "Hands of the Builders" (35 min., 1955; also dir.), "Horizons of Hope" (20 min., 1955; also prod.), "The ZOA in Israel" (20 min., 1956), "Road to Tomorrow" (20 min., 1958), "Side by Side" (26 min., 1958; also prod.), "Three Girls" (17 min., 1958), "Israel, My Country" (17 min., 1959; also dir. & prod.), "Today and Tomorrow" (13.5 min., 1959; also prod.), "Israel's House of Wisdom" (16 min., 195...), "Faces of Freedom" (17 min., 1960; also dir. & prod.), "Home at Last" (13.5 min., 1961; also dir. & prod.), "The Vision of Chaim Weizmann" (26.5 min., 1963),"Tower of the Valley" (20 min., 1963). Work only outside cinematography: "New Roots" (28 min., 1957; photographer??, dir. & prod.), "From Dream to Reality" (13 min., 1957; prod.), "The Voice of the Land" (20 min., 1960; prod.), "The Highest Commandment" (13.5 min., 1961; prod.), "Years of Destiny" (26.5 min., 1961; co-script, dir. & prod.), "A City Called Eilat" (27 min., 1962; script & prod.), "Timeless Sand" (25 min., 1962; ed. & prod.), "Here Is Israel" (23 min., 1963; dir. & prod.), "Danger, Border Ahead" (15 min., 1963; dir. & prod.), "Glorious Galilee" (15 min., 1963; ed. & prod.), "Island in the Desert" (15 min., 1963; ed. & prod.).[3]
More sources: counted among photographers who studied in pre-1933 Germany [1]; "a well-known photographer called Lazar Dunner" who photographed Toscanini conducting the very first Israel Philharmonic Orchestra (IPO) concert in Dec. 1936, next to Rudi Weissenstein, whose wife Miriam is telling the story: ""Besides Rudi, there was a well-known photographer called Lazar Dunner who was at the inaugural concert to take pictures, too. In the middle of the concert Dunner took a picture of Toscanini with a flash, whereupon Toscanini threw down his baton and walked off the stage." What Weissenstein knew, and Dunner didn't, was that Toscanini had an eye complaint and couldn't stand having flash photographs taken of him." [2]. Arminden (talk) 11:43, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
