Abstract
In film, the ocean serves as a very rich backdrop against which individual lives and collective stories are projected. Many movies have portrayed Jewish characters, whose lives have been associated, in one way or another, with the sea. In documentaries and fiction films, the history of Jewish people has been recorded : Hasty departures and arrivais, overcoming natural obstacles in order to reach a promised land, be it real or mythical, sea crossings, pervade those films. From « biblical » movies to films portraying modem Jewish heroes, the sea embodies the various voyages that Jews have had to undertake, their resilience, their fears and their hopes.
