...More Than 1000 Words

"...More Than 1000 Words" is exactly the right title for this epic masterpiece by Solo Avital. His documentary style film illustrates the life of the internationally well-known and successful independent photographer Ziv Koren. His dramatic pictures right from the front-lines have covered a lot of top world magazines, like e.g. The Times.

For two years Avital followed the world photo press award winner Koren through his everyday-life.

He does not only show his work, where Koren sneaks into highly dangerous war zones, talks to Islamic top terrorists or takes photo of a bus who got blown up by suicidal assassin just an hour ago... he also contrasts this very cleverly and tense with scenes of Koren's wife ( an actress and model) and his two children.

The 45 min. lasting film shows how surreal life in those areas of the world has become and how people, living in the western world try to ignore it. Beyond that it gives the audience insight on the feelings of the master of photography Ziv Koren who risks his life every day for new, fresh pictures of Terror, War, Violence and Death.

A great film - definitely worth watching, Patrick H.
