Belated Measures
2020, 16mm archival film transferred to HD. Stereo Sound. 34 min.
Belated Measures is based on rare 16mm film materials found at the Lehi Archives. The Lehi was an underground para-military organization operating in Palestine during the British Mandate. Never shown publicly before, these materials include documentation of Lehi operations before and after the establishment of the State of Israel, alongside recostructions of various acts performed by Lehi members for the camera. In this film-essay, Evron exposes details about the historical research he conducted, letting us in on his reflections, assumptions and speculations which address the relationship between war and photography, documentary and propaganda, the visual traces and destruction.
