Dani Gal’s new film for Paranoia TV reconstructs three famous episodes from the history of avant-garde music. Shot in hauntingly empty concert halls during the lockdown, they tell a story of today’s Israeli soldiers who refuse to remain silent about their role in the occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
On the occasion of the premiere of his film on Paranoia TV, Dani Gal talks to David Riff about witnesses, violence, and the contradictory legacy of modernism in view of today’s situation in society and politics.
