Hope I'm in the Frame 2017 ( 5)

Shooting 2025 ( 10)

A war recreated for the filming of a movie leads to the fleeing of an entire village in the Golan Heights; weapons are planted in the home of a Palestinian family in East Jerusalem to stage an action scene; and a props and weapons man is revealed to be suffering from PTSD while dealing with moral trauma. The trilogy examines the ethical aspects of reenactment and how militarism's grip on Israeli society (also) corrupts cinema.

Hatalyan (The Hangman) 2010 ( 6)

The life of Shalom, The Nazi major officer Adolf Eichmann's hangman, turned ritual slaughterer, encapsulates the story of Israel from the perspective of the 'other'- the marginalized Sephardi prison warden who is forced to do the dirty work of hanging the arch enemy and thus to carry a national burden that dramatically shaped his life. His job in the abattoir, together with his memories of his past, create a fascinating and complex portrait. His voice, yet unheard, from the edge of Israel's historical events, reveals new insights through his unique perspective. Shalom's clear, alternative voice from the margins of society carries a deeply humanistic universal message.
