Postcard Portraits: Image of Victory
Designing the title sequence for Image of Victory presented a unique and challenging opportunity. The film explores two contrasting sides of Israel's War of Independence, and our goal was to balance these perspectives without favoring one over the other.
Drawing on our experience from Avi Nesher's "Past Life", we developed a graphic style inspired by historical postcards. The sequence features a careful composition and a color palette of black, red, and brown—representing earth, blood, and sorrow respectively—to evoke the film's complex emotions of triumph and adversity.
While we initially considered incorporating imagery of weaponry, we ultimately focused on themes of humanity over warfare. The final design blends iconic scenes from the film with a nostalgic touch, honoring the film’s profound narrative and emotional depth.
Image of Victory — Synopsis of the film
The story takes place between late 1947 and June 1948, and focuses mainly on the days before the Battle of Nitzanim and on the battle itself (7 June 1948), at the end of which Nitzanim is conquered by the Egyptian forces and the surviving defenders are taken prisoners. A young Egyptian journalist, Hassanin (Amir Khoury), accompanies an Egyptian volunteer fighting force heading to aid the Palestinian Arabs, as a director of a propaganda film to capture an "image of victory" of the Egyptian Army. They set camp the foot of the kibbutz within which the members, together with a platoon of the Givati Brigade, prepare to defend.
