Choice and Destiny

Non fiction authentic feature. 118 min. 16 mm. Colour.

I want to present you Yitzhak, 80-years-old and his wife Fruma, 72-years. They are my parents. They are Holocaust survivors. They live in Israel. Their moving story is told through the small gestures of the daily routine of the life of a retired couple: preparing their food, their meals, eating with their grandchildren. Leaving their daughter a memoir.

In my parents’ kitchen, Holocaust survivors, I read precisely and gracefully, the traces of history which even in the folds of silence refuse to let itself be forgotten.

A City with no Pity

Creative Documentary feature. 65 min. video. Color

I went back to my home town Lod (Lydda) which became the center of drug trafficking in Israel. I found that its history of 5000 years is covered under ruined houses and heaps of garbage same as my childhood landscapes and memories. The surreal reality of Lod where a third of its population is Arab-Israeli citizens became a metaphor of the whole state of Israel.
