In 1980 Amos Gitai shot the documentary House, which narrated the history of a house in West Jerusalem and of its Israeli and Palestinian owners from 1948. Eighteen years later, he went back to the same place to observe the changes of its inhabitants and the neighborhood: A House in Jerusalem was thus created. In 2005 he returned to conclude his investigation with News from Home/News from House. The narrative of the three films is permeated by historical facts. The fate of the successive dwellers of the house follows the hardships of Palestinian and Israeli history. All the political, social and territorial drama that has afflicted this region for over half a century is replicated in a house scale.
