This collection of short films was produced as part of the social documentary project at Tel Aviv University's Steve Tisch School of Film and Television. This year, in the shadow of the October 7 events and the Swords of Iron war, students turned to direct films stemming from war sounds. The voices heard from the outside, the voices heard from the inside, and the voices that are absent. Together, these films offer a brief, poetic view of the less-discussed aspects of wartime.
The films that will be screened:
Bush
Dir.: Elik Fromchenko | 8 minutes
An AI based documentary film using real sound and footage from the NOVA festival terror attack on Oct 7th. Maya, a yoga teacher, hides in a bush from the terrorists, and finds her way out using her imagination.
Hotel Sanctuary
Dir.: Rotem Pesachovish Paz | 9 min
Following the terror attacks on October 7th, members of Kibbutz Nir-Am were evacuated to Herods Hotel Tel Aviv. Against the backdrop of hotel footage, a women's voice narrates the story of many families, in their striving to find the 'new normal' amidst uncertainty.
Some Kind of Nature
Dir.: Gay Klein | 6 minutes
The new norm of the Upper Galilee after October 7th.
The Voices of Souls
Dir.: Fitnat Waked | 5 minutes
On October 7th, I felt like I lost my voice as a Palestinian woman, as an Arab citizen of Israel. Ever since, life has turned into months of silence, confusion and pain. This movie is journey in search of the words and the voice: a search for meaning within the chaos.
The Yellow Gate
Dir.: Talia Ashuach Salomon | 8 min
The beloved and familiar view from my window suddenly feels different and raises questions as a mother, during wartime.
