Movie: …Be yom hashlishi (2010)
“This is a movie about people caught up in the moment just before a large or small change is about to take place in their lives. A combination of chance and fate delude the protagonists throughout. The movie attempts to describe the life of individuals in contemporary Israeli society, and the almost impossible attempt to simply live one’s life. Whether he is a regular citizen or an important “boss”, the life of every Israeli is consciously or unconsciously shaped by the national state of affairs. This “state of affairs” filters into his life and into his very being, at times in a destructive and irrevocable manner. Most often, the individual remains unaware of the influence that the big picture – the country suffering tremendous pressures from both inside and outside – has on his personal state of being. This influence resembles a cloud hovering over us while we scurry about on the ground below – like aimless ants who have lost their hill. The movie represents Israel as a country already far beyond identity crises. This is a country where violence is a way of life, and which is governed by the world view of the “stupid, the evil and the corrupt.” This is a society reduced to gangs that coalesce and break up according to their needs. Anarchy is everywhere, and the perverse satisfaction of dark urges is taken for granted. The chaos this movie attempts to represent does not lie in the future. This is a world ruled by verbal, spiritual and physical violence, sexual harassment, rape, cunning, theft, arson, assault, eating disorders, cancer, post-trauma, hit-and-run accidents and other ailments. Within the chaos that envelops this perverse urban reality, mere chance appears to be the “organizing principle.” On one level, the game of chance is the result of violence being a two-edged sword. On the other hand, it partakes of the typically Israeli reality of chance encounters. The forced intimacy created by these encounters becomes reality due to the power of comradeship and companionship – born of the shared experience of different exigencies and of a language, a place and a given time. Beneath the surface, however, there constantly arise moments of longing, humaneness and compassion. They exist in this world as a kind of potential of which only few realize that it does exist. The same few that mourn the loss of a sense of purpose when the final avalanche of tears erupts at the end of the movie… Written by Moshe Ivgy”

August 30th, 2010Movie: Uncle Denis? (2009)
“Born Denis Charles Pratt, Quentin Crisp was a writer, an artist’s model, an actor and a raconteur. He became a gay icon after the publication of his memoir, The Naked Civil Servant in 1968, and even more of a celebrity when the book was filmed in 1975 with John Hurt in the starring role. This documentary asks how such a public figure – and a queer icon – fits into ideas of family, and in particular into his own family. Through an exploration of photographs, home movies and interviews with relatives, UNCLE DENIS? reflects on how traditions of familial memory-making intersect with the more public image-fashioning of one of the twentieth century’s most determinedly self-made men.

August 30th, 2010Movie: The Art of Living Your Dream (2009)
“The Art of Living Your Dream is a behind the scenes look at The Art of Being, a play created to bridge the gap of loneliness within humanity through art by showcasing actors expressing themselves through monologues that range from embracing of their sexuality, ethnicity, and age to acceptance of their body as is, allowing them to celebrate their individuality. Adriana Garza, creator of the play The Art of Being, takes you on the journey of making the play come to life and the challenges she faced while doing so. The tour was done solely to spread the message of the play, that individuality is a gift we all possess and can choose to honor, while supporting the arts by donating the proceeds to a different art related non-profit organization in each city. The short like the play was created to inspire people to embrace their individuality and create a more loving environment for differences by showcasing all it entails to be human. Through their monologues actors express how they perceive themselves all in hopes that not only will the audience identify with them but that through the identification they can find compassion for themselves and others and not judge each other or themselves so harshly. The Art of Being is about creating another option in this media driven world where we are sold the idea that the more you have the more valuable you are. A world where you can accept yourself, your choices and the journey they lead you on all while realizing that being human binds us all and that humanity is equality.
