KISHON
Israel | 2017 | Documentary | 87 min.
Created by: Arik Bernstein and Eliav Lilti
Director: Eliav Lilti
Producer: Arik Bernstein, Alma Films
"I was brought up and destroyed in a hell called Nazism.
I was educated and raised by the Holocaust."
Ephraim Kishon
Ephraim Kishon, was one of the great writers who defined the Israeli essence through their work. The Hungarian immigrant eventually became the most accurate voice of the young Jewish country.
During 50 years of writing Kishon published dozens of satirical columns, books, plays and films. He sold tens of millions of books and was nominated twice for the Academy Awards and won 2 Golden Globes. Yet he could never write his own biography. At the age of 70 he asked his college journalist Yaron London to assist him in unfolding his life story.
Kishon, the film, uses animation to 'bring back to life' Ephraim Kishon's persona and reenact the rare dialog, alongside intimate interviews, rare footage and home movies.

REMEMBER BAGHDAD
UK | 2017 | Documentary | 69 min.
Director: Fiona Murphy
Producers: George Carey, Andre Singer, Ed Dallal
"There is a potency and pungency to this absorbing documentary"
The Guardian
Remember Baghdad reveals the untold story of Iraq, told though the eyes of the Jews, Iraq's first wave of refugees. From picnics on the Tigris and royal balls, to hangings, imprisonment and escape, moving individual stories take us from past to present. The life of the Jewish community is shaped by British and Nazi influence, and the creation of the State of Israel. Told through vivid testimony, home movies, and news archives, as well as footage from Iraq today, we follow the lives of four Jewish families trying to make sense of turbulent times, and one man goes back to buy a house in Iraq.

Forty years after her death, Golda Meir's image is still clouded with controversy. While perceived as a feminist icon in many places in the world, in the country she led as a prime minister for five years she's seen by many as a total failure, a symbol of disgrace. "Madam Prime Minister" invites the viewers to walk in her iconic shoes and reexamine her ground breaking and dramatic years as the first and only female prime minister of Israel.
