This article investigates an increasingly observable yet insufficiently studied phenomenon: the emphasis placed by artists on personal experience as the most legitimate inspiration for art. To this end, I introduce the term ‘sincere realism’ to describe an emerging form of personal cinema in Israel, illustrating how sincerity has evolved into a dominant ‘regime of truth’ that moulds modern forms of critique and expression in contemporary Israeli filmmaking. Through a critique of Foucault's concept of ‘regimes of truth’, I argue that ‘sincere realism’ has ethical and political implications and therefore allows a more nuanced anthropological approach to Foucault's concept of power. This perspective offers a fresh insight into how artists negotiate contemporary ‘regimes of truth’.

对以色列电影制作的真诚批评


本文探讨了一个越来越可观察但研究不足的现象：艺术家强调个人经验是艺术最合理的灵感来源。为此，我引入了“真诚现实主义”一词来描述以色列一种新兴的个人电影形式，说明了真诚如何演变成一种占主导地位的“真理制度”，塑造了当代以色列电影制作中的现代批评和表达形式。通过对福柯的“真理制度”概念的批判，我认为“真诚的现实主义”具有伦理和政治含义，因此允许对福柯的权力概念采取更微妙的人类学方法。这种视角为艺术家如何与当代“真理制度”进行谈判提供了新的视角。
