Are you here
for the European Literary Encounters?
:10:29
I thought you made films.
:10:31
I was asked to give a talk to the students.
:10:34
On what?
:10:36
The text and the image.
:10:42
So, what's going on?
:10:44
The flight from Zagreb is late.
:10:49
If your father was an Egyptian Communist...
:10:53
he must have known Henri Curiel.
:10:56
They even followed the same itinerary.
:10:59
Your father died?
:11:01
He died, yes.
:11:02
Not the way Curiel did.
:11:04
Not a violent death.
:11:06
So, same itinerary, meaning what?
:11:07
Egyptian, middle-class background.
:11:10
Happy childhood. Jesuit education.
:11:13
Then, exposure to Egypt's poverty...
:11:16
and the same revolt
against rabbis, king, parents....
:11:19
Is that when he came to France?
:11:22
He was partisan.
:11:24
He got arrested.
:11:26
He spent a year and a half in prison.
:11:28
And your mother?
:11:29
She was more a Zionist.
:11:31
I'm going to go see what's happening
with Air Bosnia.
:11:34
She took the last Cairo-Jerusalem train.
:11:39
She arrived in Jerusalem in 1948 by train?
:11:43
And those on the Exodus, by boat?
:11:45
There's exodus and Exodus.
:11:48
So you went to school in Israel?
:11:52
No, we left Israel very early on.
:11:54
My father loved France.
:11:58
I went to school in France.
