“Taliya.Date.Com” is a creative documentary that tells the story of Taliya Finkel’s quest for finding love in the estranged world of Internet dating. This quest is based on a mouse, a keyboard and Photoshop tricks.
After every date, Taliya writes a “documentary poem.” She easily transforms what most singles consider as distress into poetry and cinema.
In this comic-tragic voyage with the guidance of her flat-mate Oded (extravagantly &cynically gay), she wanders from hope to humiliation and a few shabby Tel Aviv apartments. In addition, she drinks 45 cups of coffee (mostly soy latte) and gets involved with a few men and a single Husky puppy.
This movie portrays the bizarre, as well as normal, aspects of internet dating that are well known to every single who plays the romantic internet game in order to snatch the ultimate prize: True Love.
The movie may, at first glance, seem like a romantic comedy. Still, it also contains a feminist message and uses an unusual combination of methods such as documentation, poetry and acting; as may be expected of a film that describes the modern, yet chaotic, world of Internet dating.
Doron Tsabari and Uri Inbar’s ‘Revolution 101′ is a terrific rabble-rousing film, documenting their fight against the IPB (Israeli Public Broadcasting – Rashut Ha’Shidur). It is impossible to live here and not have heard at least bits and pieces of the IPB’s troubles in the past decade. Corruption, ineptitude, improper hiring, fiscal mismanagement- every few months, one noticed a new story, particularly during the direct government intervention during the reign of Yosef Barel, the former director of the organization. Director Tsabari, with the assistance of his producer and friend Inbar, has been intimately involved in attempting to correct these outrages.
Based on a true event, the film tells the story of an innocent young girl who abuses drugs and alcohol until her tragic death. Stories like this happen in Israel on a daily basis.
The story of Amos Gottleib, a shell-shocked veteran from the Yom Kippur War.
Aisha, 96, drags a pail around to help her walk. In her ripe old age, she virtually walks to the old chicken coop in her yard “on all fours”. Booba the “adolescent” goat, is a substitute for Aisha’s deceased beloved husband and for her 11 children who rarely visit. As years go by, the animals provide Aisha the only reason to live. On the backdrop of the spectacular landscapes of Yavniel, Aisha lives on the foothills of the Atlas Mountains in her heart, refusing to uproot the tradition of her childhood landscape as opposed to her children who grew up to be “Israelis”.
Sara writes a harsh blog about the bleak lives of Haredi (Ultra-Orthodox) women. Shulamit is an independent photographer who documents violent incidents on segregated busses on which women are required to seat at the back. Both of them were banned by their communities because of their desire to live normal, unsuppressed lives. These young women operate entirely alone and pay a very high price for violating the number-one rule of Haredi society: “Never air a dirty laundry in public.”
As they expose the violence of Haredi fanatics, acting in the name of modesty, they are punished by persecution and vilification. What will happen to them when they can no longer bear being shunned by their own family and friends? Wich way will they choose? where will they go?
Black Bus, Soreret, tells the story of their singlehanded and courageous attempts to document and lead a change in the Haredi Society from which they have fled.
