“Why Hast Thou Forsaken Me doesn’t<br />
just have all the elements of a cinematic<br />
feat; it is one.” — Nisimazine<br />
Muhammed is a young Israeli Palestinian<br />
man, meandering along the fringes of society.<br />
He is sexually and culturally confused<br />
and is drifting aimlessly through life.<br />
He is drawn in by the enigmatic Gurevitch,<br />
a motorbike-riding mechanic and the two<br />
begin an illicit and dangerous relationship.<br />
With a cast composed of non-actors, Israeli<br />
director, Hadar Morag, has created a visceral<br />
and immersive landscape, and a filmworld<br />
permeated by a sense of unease. Premiered<br />
at Venice Film Festival in the Orizzonti<br />
Competition.<br />
A homage to Israel’s most infamous river,<br />
the Yarkon, Winding offers an immersive<br />
study of an oft-maligned feature of Israel’s<br />
geography. Painting a portrait of a river<br />
that flows through the heart of Israeli<br />
society, this documentary tracks the history<br />
of its flow: from the settlers at the advent<br />
of the nineteenth century, to its modern<br />
day reputation as toxic eyesore, and to the<br />
Maccabiah disaster.<br />
Winner Best Israeli Documentary<br />
Film at Haifa International Film Festival.<br />
