SUMMARY:Night\, Night\, Noise.
DESCRIPTION:HORA I&II&III – A new performance offering a contemporary interpretation of traditional Eastern European Hora songs. These familiar melodies are deconstructed and reassembled into a bold new sonic language. \nAmir Bolzman (computer) and Ariel Armoni (percussion) are the founders of the Ethno-noise genre\, the point where traditional music meets technology\, folk roots and radical sound. Their music dissolves and reforms\, flowing like liquid before crystallizing into new patterns. \n\n\nThis event is part of the Sidratarbut series\, supported by the Mandel Foundation and produced by the Jerusalem Foundation\, in collaboration with the Mamuta Art and Research Center and Hansen House. \nPhotography: Dana Dektor

SUMMARY:Mind the Gap
DESCRIPTION:Officer Az-Oolay of the Yashar-El-HaLev police began her service on August 1\, 2020\, in Balfour\, Jerusalem. Armed not with weapons\, but with heart-shaped stickers\, she aimed to spark joy\, connect with people\, and practice listening—with the heart as her guide. Since then\, she has journeyed through turbulent times\, responding to the evolving challenges of Israeli society. \nThe events of October 7 marked a turning point. Az-Oolay began working closely with evacuees and initiated marches for the release of hostages—reshaping her mission. After over three and a half years of fieldwork\, Officer Az-Oolay developed a unique method rooted in the use of love as a tool. Her work explores how to transform the narrow spaces between people into openings for connection. \nHow do we dare to enter the unknown gap between one another? How can we create space within pain? \nThis interactive performance and tour blends personal stories from the field\, exercises\, and techniques from the Yashar-El-Ha-Lev police. Audiences will be invited to participate in a journey through Beit Hansen\, where each room offers a different encounter—part storytelling\, part guided exploration of the personal and collective heart. \nPhotography: Yair Meyuhas

SUMMARY:Intersections at JFF 2024
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Intersections program is non-festive yet much-needed. Being in the middle of the war with so much suffering and death\, the hostages still not released\, we ask ourselves about the meaning of art in such dark times. We believe in the power of art to put life and creativity over destruction and death. \nThe Experimental Cinema and Video Art Awards showcases eight visual artists from Israel’s most recent films. \nRustle – Yasmin Davis | Adam – Amir Yatziv | I am not afraid of the Apocalypse\, I’m afraid you don’t love me anymore – Leila Erdman-Tabukashvili | Runway Freefall – Alona Rodeh | Can’t Wait to Die – Akim Dolinsky | Little Boney and his Winter Extinguisher (at last!) – Jonathan Omer Mizrahi | Planet of Luck – Roy Menachem Markovich | “Who Am I Without My Story” – Shalom Hai \nWinners: Leila Erdman-Tabukashvili and Jonathan Omer Mizrahi \nAt the Mamuta Art and Research Center curator and scholar Judith Lenglart presents an exhibition of short films\, videos\, and photographs from the 1970s\, a decade during which performance\, body art\, and video art emerged in Israel. The works often express a confrontation of shared traumas\, like the Holocaust and the Yom Kippur War\, with identity and gender matters\, as well as the artists’ personal experiences. Participating artists: Avraham Eilat\, Gideon Gechtman\, Yoram & Alina Gross\, Haim Maor\, Joshua Neustein\, Georgette Batlle & Gerry Marx\, Dov Or Ner\, David Perlov\, Yocheved Weinfeld. \nTHE CELLAR (1963) by Nathan Gross will be shown at the Jerusalem Cinematheque. About one year after the Eichmann trial\, director Nathan Gross delves into the traumas of the Holocaust for the first time in Israeli film. Written by Gross and Shimon Yisraeli\, the script includes events culled from the director’s own life. It is the first film in Israeli cinema to adopt a Holocaust survivor’s perspective. Presented by curator Judith Lenglart. \nOnce again\, we will pay homage to one of the most acclaimed experimental filmmakers\, Chantal Akerman. GOLDEN EIGHTIES\, is a playful musical Akerman directed in 1986.Through this colorful\, recently restored escapade\, Akerman’s sharp eye examines a multitude of topics\, from capitalism and feminism to Jewish identity. Presented by scholar Ori Levin. \nTAKING VENICE by Amie Wallach is a poignant documentary recounting the 1964 Venice Biennale and how the American government intervened to assure Rauschenberg’s work would be the winning one that year. \nBRITISH WOMEN OF THE AVANT-GARDE: A FEMALE MAZE features four women filmmakers whose films are gems of experimental cinema. The filmmakers presented here have an innovative and a very personal perspective on their surrounding world. This program emphasizes the transformative influence these artists have had through their provocative works and practices that shaped the feminist art movement. \nDuring these turbulent times we are enduring we hope to bring a space for comfort\, calm\, perhaps some smiles\, and some thought on this year’s Intersections. \nAdditional information at JFF website

SUMMARY:Intersections at JFF 2023
DESCRIPTION:Welcome to another series of collective dark room screenings\, with a harvest of new works witnessing life around us through different lenses\, free of creative or commercial constraints. \nThe Experimental Cinema and Video Art Awards showcases seven visual artists from Israel’s most recent films. The competition presents an audacious approach to video art and experimental cinema\, interweaving personal and political themes and responding in diverse ways to today’s troubled environment. This broad scope of contemporary images reaches far beyond conventional narrative cinema\, from rough aesthetics to subtle poetics. \nMotherland – Dylan Joseph Schitrit | Riding Out of the Saddle – Dan Robert Lahiani | How the Lake Became a River – Sevan Smolnik | They All Died – Ayala Berger | Permanent Resident – Thalia Hoffman | He Who Says No – Tamar Nissim | Verbal Problems – Nitzan Satt \nWinners: Dan Robert Lahiani and Ayala Berger \nGlobe-trotting artist\, Irit Batsry\, presents MEMORIES OF OTHERS at the Mamuta Art and Research Center. A suite of four video installations explores the materiality of film and memory\, questioning obsolete formats and reflecting on oblivion. Prize-winning THESE ARE NOT MY IMAGES (NOT HERE NOT THERE) (2000)\, the film-essay Batsry directed in India and which won multiple international accolades\, will be screened at the Festival\, allowing us to revisit the aesthetic\, cultural and political questions the film raises nowadays. \nCANALE GRANDE (1983) by Viennese artist Friederike Pezold is a satirical mix of video and film\, which tries to re-invent television as a personal “closevision\,” using humorous video pictures      of her own body from video pictures that create a new corporal language. RETURN TO REASON\, or “a place that exists … between consciousness and unconsciousness\, between dream and wakefulness\, and between reality and the surreal world”\, resonates through Jim Jarmusch and Logan Carter’s visual music and poetics\, lending Man Ray a new life 100 years after. Philosopher\, writer and activist Paul B. Preciado’s ORLANDO\, MY POLITICAL BIOGRAPHY\, explores gender\, identity and new technologies of the body. Taking Virginia Woolf’s book as a starting point for his autobiography\, Preciado’s interpretation is revelatory and spirited\, earning the film the Special Jury Prize in Berlin. \nCome blow off some steam with these irreverent\, feisty artists and their bodies and their works! \nAdditional information at JFF website

SUMMARY:Intersections at JFF 2022
DESCRIPTION:After our long stint in suspended time\, we welcome you back to the immersion and intimacy of a dark movie theater. To celebrate\, we have put together a compelling program we hope will energize you. \nThe Experimental Cinema and Video Art Awards\, always a pivotal point\, allow us to promote and support local artists/ filmmakers\, thus enabling them to continue their work. The selected films respond to the current audio-visual scene and present us with a multiplicity of practices that are engaging and respond to our current uncanny times. \nTwo prizes will be awarded: The Lia van Leer Award on behalf of Rivka Saker and the Ostrovsky Family Fund Award. \nOther Textures\, Other Pleasures is composed of two programs of exploratory moving images made by women. Starting in the last century and ending now\, it is a multicentric adventure through global geography. These handmade works reveal hidden poetics which prod us to perceive things in another light and can lead to other pleasures. Following the screening\, a discussion will take place between Sharon Balaban\, Vivian Ostrovsky\, and the public. \nTo balance the female gaze we have chosen Arnaud des Pallières’ Journal d’Amérique which uses archives (the Prelinger archives\, free on internet)\, as cinematographic territory\, composing an impressive ‘work diary’ which weaves its way through the 20th century via thoughts by mostly American writers\, philosophers\, thinkers – all on intertitles – and mostly a male point of view. While the charismatic color footage dictates its own story\, memory is what holds the film together. \nCome and explore our programs; we hope you will find them impactful\, stimulating\, and captivating. See you soon! \nVivian Ostrovsky and Sala-Manca \nAdditional information on JFF website

SUMMARY:Intersections at JFF 2021
DESCRIPTION:For most of this past year we have been trying to find our way through uncharted territory. Last year’s version of the Festival was online and limited\, and INTERSECTIONS featured only the Experimental Cinema and Video Art Awards.\nFor this year’s chapter\, we are decidedly in a better frame of mind and joyfully snapping back with a program which will take you on a trip through time\, place\, and space. To help us out of the usual confined mode\, screenings will be followed by live ‘snapchats’ for the curious who want to know more about the diverse works presented.\nFirst off\, the Experimental Cinema and Video Art Awards will continue to support and promote local contemporary artists’ work. The current selection will undoubtedly touch on the political and aesthetic trends of this most unusual period.\nFor those who need an escape from our everyday lives\, however\, we are offering a chance to see recently restored films by a contemporary of Chaplin\, Keaton\, and Langdon: Charley Bowers (1889-1946). This creator of idiosyncratic\, slapstick live-action and animated shorts was rediscovered in the late 1960s by archivist Raymond Borde of the Toulouse Cinematheque; his films took on “a disorderly life of their own obeying nothing but the logic of dreams” (R. Borde).\nOri Levin (Postdoctoral Scholar in Silent Film at the Visual Studies Research Institute\, USC\, Faculty Member at the Steve Tisch School of Film and Television) will present Bowers’ innovative work and tell you more about his use of gizmos\, gears\, and animation to create a world greatly admired by the likes of André Breton and his surrealist circle.\nNir Evron’s film-essay\, BELATED MEASURES\, is based on never publicly shown before 16mm film materials\, found at the LEHI Archives. The LEHI was an underground para-military organization operating in Palestine during the British Mandate. Evron shares his reflections and speculations about the relationship between war and photography\, documentary and propaganda\, visual traces and destruction. Ran Tal\, award-winning documentary filmmaker and Head of the MFA Documentary Film Program at the Tisch Film School in Tel Aviv University\, will be in conversation with Nir after the screening.\nUlrike Ottinger started her career as an artist\, turning to cinema – both documentary and fiction – in the late 1960s. Her work combines fantasy and ethnography\, adding a splash of extravagant aesthetics\, humor\, and a total aversion to conventions. Yael Mazor\, PhD candidate and lecturer at the Steve Tisch School of Film and Television at Tel Aviv University\, will provide more background information regarding Ottinger’s work. Her research focuses on German cinema through the prisms of history\, memory\, and film historiography.\nLast but not least\, online at the Festival website\, we’ll be offering three of the striking\, thought-provoking lectures that Laurie Anderson prepared for the prestigious Norton Series at Harvard University. SPENDING THE WAR WITHOUT YOU is far from the concept of ‘talking heads’ – she proposes a combination of virtual backgrounds\, mixing history\, art\, film\, animation\, music\, Brian Eno\, Freud\, and more. Her themes for each hour-long talk are The River\, The Forest\, and Rocks. “I will try to tell you what I know about music and life\,” she says\, and it is certainly worthwhile listening to!\nWe sincerely hope you will be happy to be in this year’s festival mode\, whatever it may be!\nVivian Ostrovsky and Sala-Manca \nAdditional information on JFF website

SUMMARY:Intersections at JFF 2020
DESCRIPTION:Boredom\nDir.: Avishai Sivan | 5 minutes \nA man of about 40 enters a vacant apartment in an abandoned building facing redevelopment. He has just returned from traveling abroad and will self-quarantine. Time stands still. Every posture\, each and every step must be measured\, imparting good health. Boredom sinks in. Death is a probability. \nFilling Spaces\nDir.: Shachar Kantor | 15 minutes \nWithin fragments of memory\, pieces of interviews\, and personal items\, lies the story of two characters coping with loss. Filling Spaces is an interactive documentary experience using 3D scans\, game design\, and cinematography to explore intimacy and empathy. \nJunkerhaus\nDir.: Karen Russo | 8 minutes \nJunkerhaus is shot in the residence of Karl Junker (1850 -1912) who dedicated his life to building his house in Lemgo\, Germany. Reflections\, projections and changes in light form abstract shapes which animate surfaces and structures\, producing a psychological portrait that offers a new appreciation of architecture as mystical and visionary experience. \nMen Are Wild Beasts\, You Are Not Like Them\nDir.: Yehonatan Milo Levitas | 3 minutes \nMen Are Wild Beasts\, You Are Not Like Them\, tells the story of a horse born in an isolated cabin to a foreign reality. A story through archetypes about gender identity\, wild nature\, escape\, and time. \nPower\nDir.: Haviv Kaptzon | 14 minutes \nA video essay dealing with the relationship between man and the natural world and focusing on the dual meaning of the word “POWER\,” both as an electrical energy and as a political and economic significance. \nShomer\nDir.: Dor Zlekha Levy | 9 minutes \nShomer dismantles and reassembles the architectural structure of the Magen Avraham synagogue in Beirut\, in order to explore concepts such as authenticity and preservation\, and their relationship with memory. \nAdditional information on JFF website

SUMMARY:Intersections at JFF 2019
DESCRIPTION:INTERSECTIONS is a haven for those seeking escape from the conventions of narrative and documentary film. \nThe Experimental Cinema and Video Art Awards focuses on cinema as personal expression and explores the innovative\, freewheeling edges of the moving image. \nNow in its 15th year\, the competition presents 8 selections drawn from 100 entries. Prizes totaling NIS 25\,000. are funded by the Ostrovsky Family Fund and by Rivka Saker\, in memory of Lia van Leer. \nGuest curator Federico Rossin introduces two programs of Polish films from the 1970s\, selected to draw attention to issues that resonate today. \nThe Vanished World showcases how experimental filmmakers in early sixties approached the Holocaust and the disappearance of Jewish life in Poland. \nFilm Form Studio films spotlight a group of dissident film and art students\, active between 1970 and 1977\, who\, disenchanted by the Łódź Film School’s curriculum\, developed their own approach to illuminating complicated topics. This echoes discussions currently taking place in Jerusalem. \nJonas Mekas\, who Jim Jarmusch described as ‘the poet’s version of Kung Fu Master\,’ will be saluted with a screening of his masterwork Reminiscences of a Journey to Lithuania (1972). Preceding it will be his rarely screened short\, Notes on the Circus (1966)\, a proverbial tutorial on his signature\, edited-in-camera balancing act. \nPéter Forgács and Jay Rosenblatt pair in a program that investigates memory\, time and displaced histories. Forgács’ Venom(2016) was awarded first prize in the Loop video art fest in Barcelona. Rosenblatt’s Claustrum (2014) evokes an immersive twilight zone that prompts reflections on the end of an era. \nMamuta Art and Research Center will host an installation by Eiv Kristal and Nurit Dreamer. They will transform Mamuta’s distinctive spaces into reflections of their autobiographic fantasies. \nINTERSECTIONS explores how inventive applications of cinematic magic tap memory\, reflect history and induce revelation. \nAdditional information on JFF website

SUMMARY:Intersections at JFF 2018
DESCRIPTION:This year’s Intersections offers 5 different programs\, all\, as always\, in the sphere of experimentation and curiosity. \nThe 14th Experimental Cinema and Video Art Awards showcase\, dialogue\, and celebrate with contemporary art practices. A determined selection committee went through more than 80 films to choose an unconventional\, well-crafted final program of 6 films by local artists. \nTwo programs by Latin American artists focus on themes of art under dictatorship\, memory\, war\, and abuse of power. \n The Mamuta Art and Research Center will present a 5-channel video installation by Lola Arias whose related film was shown in the Berlinale this year. Arias\, a renowned Argentinian writer\, theater and film director and performer uses reenactments with traumatized soldiers to evoke the Falklands war 30 years later. \nBrazil: Breaking Boundaries\, features four pioneering women artists (Analivia Cordeiro\, Anna Bella Geiger\, Anamaria Maiolino\, and Leticia Parente)\, of the 1970s who worked in moving images under the military government’s authoritarian rule. The result is eminently political\, subversive and often ironic. \n Akira Ikeda’s Ambiguous Places finds its place with the Avant-Garde. Its wackiness\, wickedness\, and wit will charm or unsettle audiences. \n James Benning’s almost silent Readers might be a writer’s favorite? A lesson in stillness and observation. \nVivian Ostrovsky & Sala-Manca \nAdditional information on JFF website

SUMMARY:Intersections at JFF 2017
DESCRIPTION:“Intersections”: where two or more roads meet\, where two or more ways of thinking the world\, of thinking of art\, filmmaking and video art may meet. It is where you can change a direction\, but\, even more important\, it is where we are open to other possibilities. Art can be one of those rare places that allow one to challenge one’s own perceptions and boundaries and where nothing is set a priori. \nThe experimental film and video art competition presents six diverse works chosen from almost eighty. Each of them proposes a journey towards unknown dreams\, future scenarios\, transformations\, nature\, or yet-to-be discovered worlds. \nTony Conrad’s optical assaults are a reminder of how art can be something other than a commodity and the documentary about him introduces us to a multifaceted and nonconformist artist\, musician and filmmaker. \n״The Dybbuk”\, a film-perfomance with live orchestra\, blurs the boundaries between past and present\, life and death\, proposing an alternate reading of classic and canonic film\, appropriating its voice to confront the lurking hegemonic powers. \n  For those who know Heinz Emigholz’s work his film quartet \, STREETSCAPES – shown at the Berlinale Forum – is a surprise. \nJudging from his challenging documentaries he could be called a ‘spatial architect’ – constantly building filmic spaces from the architecture he perceives. There is rarely any text or music. BICKELS\, on the kibbutz architect who created Ein Harod\, is typical. However\, STREETSCAPES (Dialogue)\, is a most surprising new oeuvre in which the dialogue between the filmmaker and his interlocutor becomes the film. \n‘IN THE INTENSE NOW’ is João Moreira Salles’ meditative poem\, interweaving politicial events from 50 years ago together with his mother’s  super 8 footage shot in China and Brazil. A salute to Chris Marker and some of past cinema’s best moments projected in the unexpected format of a square. \nMANIFESTO delights the viewer with Cate Blanchett playing 13 different characters\, each representing a political or artistic manifesto. Witty\, provocative and fun. \nCome to Intersections 2017 for a ride through rougher roads! \nThanks to Rivka Saker and the Ostrovsky Family Fund for funding the Experimental Cinema and Video Art Awards \nAdditional information on JFF website
