Revival
A 25 minute film from Ma’ale School of Television, Film and Arts.
This is the story of Hemi, a religious, 60 year old, Bible teacher. One day, Hemi discovers that the punk band his wife was a part of some 30 years ago is getting back together. Echoes of the wild past, as the reunion approaches, shakes up Hemi’s life. His marriage is threatened along with his job and place in the religious community in which he lives.
Pinhas
A 30 minute film from the Department of film and Television at Tel Aviv University
Finalist Student Academy Awards in Israel.
Pinhas and his mother are new immigrants from Russia. While his mother barely makes a living working night shifts, she devotes her spare time to the affair she has with a married man. On the third floor lives a religious family, and Pinhas is drawn to their warmth and unity. There he meets a girl his age and her older brother who slowly introduces him to religion.
