Dir:  Avishai Sivan

In this video piece, the two evils of human civilization – chauvinism and animal slaughter – come head to head in battle. Leah is loved by a devout vegan, whose love is blind and obsessive. He turns violent when he learns that she slaughters cattle for a living. The cruel and the beautiful, the shrewd and the bestial – are all fused together in a unique punk ballad.

Tour 1

Dir: Myssa Daher

My work was influenced by growing up as fourth and youngest child in my family, a sister to three older brothers. I grew up in front of the TV, which made me restless and bored, and so I invented imaginary games to entertain myself. I constantly wanted to go out on new adventures, just like in the movies. Although by now I realize the difference between movies and reality, this has had a great impact on my present confused and somewhat crazy personality.

Evron and Krieger invited a group of kibbutz members to recite the 26 verses of this opaque and suggestive poem.

Factory

Dir: Maya Geller

Factory daily routine reveals a series of actions and the people behind it. Trying to pour meaning into empty flour sacks, I became a diligent worker motivated by the factory’s flow; touching the material, sifting, processing, letting it pass through me into the visual text presented to you. As a sterile organ I contained the dreams, desires and erosion the factory holds within it.
