November Book + Film Club: From Footage to Film/Zero Motivation

Join us for Book + Film Club! Each month, we will read a book related to the craft of filmmaking or a literary work that has been adapted to a film. At the end of the month we will meet to watch a related film and then discuss!

In our November 2023 session we are learning about the art of editing with Arik Lahav-Leibovich’s book on editing and then applying those techniques to Zero Motivation, a film that Lahav-Leibovich edited. THIS FILM WILL BE SUBTITLED.

Book: From Footage to Film: Intimate Insights on Film Editing by Arik Lahav-Leibovich

– “Reading Lahav-Leibovich’s new book feels like sitting in the editing room with an artist who explains the reasoning and decisions behind his edits. A book every filmmaking student must have in their library.” – Shmulik Duvdevani, film critic.

Film: Zero Motivation (2014, dir. Talya Lavie)

– “”An absorbing office saga and diverting dark comedy, Zero Motivation is a surprisingly insightful coming-of-age tale, utilizing the milieu of the military to look at desire, loneliness, identity, fitting in and many aspects of everyday complex female life.” – The Playlist
