'In Jerusalem' (Bi-rushalayim, Jerusalem) (1963) is a documentary film by David Perlov. This film came to be one of the most important films of Israeli documentary cinema.[http://www.haaretz.co.il/.premium-1.2185002 "In Jerusalem: Now the World Looks Back at David Perlov"], 'Haaretz', 8 December 2003
Considered by many as one of the most poetic films ever produced in Israeli Film, and as a milestone in Israeli documentary cinema, 'In Jerusalem' is composed of 10 engaged observations of the city, before it was united. Uri Klein (Haaretz) wrote: "When I first saw In Jerusalem, in 1963, I was not fully aware yet of the importance of the film itself or of its director, but I knew that I had never seen an Israeli film such as that. I felt that the Israeli cinema was being born right in front of my eyes".Excerpts of Uri Klein's interview with Perlov about In Jerusalem, 'Haaretz', Sep. 29 1993.
