A treat for photography buffs at this year’s One World festival of human rights documentaries has been Koudelka Shooting Holy Land, in which we follow the protagonist, now in his late 70s, as he captures the building of the wall between Israel and Palestine as well as the region’s stunning landscape. The documentary is the work of Gilad Baram, himself a photographer, who was Koudelka’s assistant for five years. When we spoke at One World, I asked Baram how the Czech’s relationship to the Holy Land had begun. encr@radio.cz (Cesky Rozhlas)webmaster@radio.cz (CRo Webmaster) https://english.radio.cz/sites/default/files/images/koudelka_fotografuje_svatou_zemi1.jpg?timestamp=1590611288 https://english.radio.cz/koudelka-taught-me-how-see-says-helmer-one-world-film-great-czech-photographer-8231434 Radio Prague International Radio Prague International radio.prague.int@gmail.com clean 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
