Mind Fuck
Yaki just wanted to make a porn film. As a child growing up in an ultra-orthodox family (very religious), he never even heard about this “dubious” genre. Actually, he never even encountered the world of television and film. After shooting his little film, he starts developing his interest in video-art, with the help of his good friend Ricardo. Through this medium he explores the connection between sex and religion, myth and anxiety, body and soul. This is his self portrait.
The Unforgettables
Dora, a young and passionate French photographer documenting the Israeli memorial culture, falls in love with Yossi, a former Israeli soldier who is searching for a new identity which is not related to his army days. Unable to confront him, she runs away and Yossi embarks on a journey to find her. This journey will take him through forgotten memories, and lead him to confront his past.
Under The Same Sun
The film is set in the near future, and it looks back at the story of two businessmen – one Palestinian and one Israeli – who struggle to set up a solar energy company.

In the end, they mount a Facebook campaign that impacts both their joint venture and ultimately changes the political map.

Tour 1
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.
Tattoos of Tomorrow
Love is Blind and Deaf
Adam and Eve move in together. Only this time there’s no Garden of Eden No snake to blame and not much of a god to be afraid of. Just two people struggling to get along together, one apple and some fig leaves. Based on a new story by Jonathan Safran Foer, this short film is a part of a new cultural venture called ‘StoryVid’, combining a short story reading with visual videography.
