Advertisement poster for the film "Adama" [Land]. Lithographic printing
"A. Kofman and Co.". Tel-Aviv [ca.1948]. Design: Richard Levi (Errell).
Large, impressive poster in color.
The film "Adama", directed by Helmar Lerski, was filmed during the years 1947-1948, shortly before the establishment of the State of Israel. The film focuses on a boy by the name of Binyamin in the Youth Village Ben-Shemen. The Jewish boy, a Holocaust survivor, is trying to overcome the traumas he experienced during the war through working the land. The initiative to produce the film was of the Ben-Shemen village founder, Dr. Siegfried Lehman, who was hoping to present to the educational method of this institute as an example of what is done in Israel as far as education is concerned and through the film raise funds for the youth village. According to an agreement signed between Ben-Shemen youth village and "Hadassah" organization, the latter were to cover the deficit of the village and support the production of the film in return to being granted rights to use the film in the United States.
"Adama" is the first full-length film produced in Israel. The film was edited twice: for the first time in Hollywood, with Larsky not involved. This version was called "Adama" and was screened in the Locarno Film Festival and in the Cannes Film Festival. Later on, a shorter version was produced by the "Hadassah" women organization by the name of "Tomorrow's a Wonderful Day". The first version was screened several times and was lost under various circumstances while the second version was distributed and well kept. Several years ago the Spielberg Archive team located in France a single copy of "Adama", except for the first reel, and this reel was restored from "Tomorrow's a Wonderful Day" according to the original screenplay in the archive.
