Filming the Via Dolorosa - in the footsteps
of Jesus |
It was our pleasure to welcome back New Zealand filmmaker
Bryan Bruce from Red Sky TV in Wellington. After having
previously shot in Israel in April, he now returned
to focus on some vital biblical re-enactment scenes
and further interviews, before venturing of to Europe
with Israel based Director of Photography Noam Teich.
His documentary about “The Historical Jesus”,
which is set to air in 2010 and will be accompanied
by a book, is a thought-provoking investigation into
the Jesus trial and crucifixion. Different crucifixion
scenes were filmed as re-enactments in an intense
shooting day in a West Bank village with more than
30 people on set and two cameras covering all angles.
Production manager Sharon Schaveet secured a beautiful
and authentic location that served the filming atmosphere
for these challenging scenes very well. Further locations
shot during this week of production were Qumran, Herodion,
the Old City, Sepphoris and Nazareth, plus an inspiring
interview with Prof. Hershkovitz from the Sackler
Faculty at the University of Tel Aviv.
Stay tuned in 2010 for more details on this new historical
documentary that shall rock the boat of common historical
assumptions.
