Israeli society’s encounter with the moving images of the Six-Day War was a belated, retroactive, reconstructed confrontation. Shortly following the end of the war, its cinematic reenactment was produced; the fighters were reconvened at the battlefield, and for a moment they were all actors in an expertly orchestrated spectacular production meant to commemorate that which had been supposedly lost to memory. Several weeks after the war, films such as Six Days Forever and Three Hours in June played to packed houses, depicting the triumphant campaigns with great pathos. In Israeli public memory, the moving images of the reenacted war were combined with the collection of journalistic photographs of the war, forming the foundational archive of the memory of the war. For many, the experience of viewing the images of the battles—in a theater packed with an enthusiastic audience, shortly following the war—became an indelible part of the memory of that time.
