Chengdu University was honored to host the world-renowned film director Mr. Igal Peeri as our guest speaker for the Cinematography Department.

His still-image film "My Love, My Love" was nominated to participate in several international film festivals, winning distinguished awards in the New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Washington, and Israeli International Film Festivals.


The movie's plot portrays a heart-felt love story of an Israeli girl who realizes that her boyfriend is destined to die. Peeri utilizes the still-image technique, using over 1000 still-image photographs to convey the tale.


In the course of his lecture series, Peeri introduced the students to the background, techniques and process of still-image movie making. Peeri encouraged students to pose questions and take an active part in each lecture and workshop session. He would take the time to answer each student's questions carefully and patiently.

Perseverance

This was my first exposure to still image film making and I must say that I am truly impressed, not only by the content, but by the remarkable effort and perseverance needed to produce such a film. It amazes me that small groupings of pictures can be pieced together to create such a heartfelt movie.

Simple form

This movie stood out far beyond other movies I have viewed. It told a story in a most direct and simple form. The film portrayed the unhappiness brought about by war. The cruelties of war were successfully conveyed through the images and music. I liked this film.
