Hatalyan (The Hangman)

The life of Shalom, The Nazi major officer Adolf Eichmann's hangman, turned ritual slaughterer, encapsulates the story of Israel from the perspective of the 'other'- the marginalized Sephardi prison warden who is forced to do the dirty work of hanging the arch enemy and thus to carry a national burden that dramatically shaped his life. His job in the abattoir, together with his memories of his past, create a fascinating and complex portrait. His voice, yet unheard, from the edge of Israel's historical events, reveals new insights through his unique perspective. Shalom's clear, alternative voice from the margins of society carries a deeply humanistic universal message.

Metamorphosis

The film combines the testimony of four women who went through rape or incest and the myths of rape from Metamorphoses, and attempts to locate the forgotten, flickering voice. To tell the story from the inside, to allow a place for a narrative which is difficult to hear, that deviates from the aesthetic and illuminates the sordid outlines of our culture.
