Loo­king for an edi­tor for a short doc about a radi­cal-left pro­ject in Jeru­sa­lem

The pro­ject, film­ed in Febru­ary, is dri­ven by the ten­si­on of expres­sing resis­tance in the Israe­li public space. It deals with moral ques­ti­ons about being human, being artists, and being Jewish in times of ongo­ing self-made atro­ci­ties. for me, its all about rejec­ting the pas­si­ve­ness of wat­ching the dehu­ma­niza­ti­on and radi­cal­iza­ti­on of socie­ty.

My col­la­bra­tor and I assem­bled a 4‑act pro­ject whe­re we asked for the com­mu­ni­ty around us to express poli­ti­cal resis­tance through art. We did this in a for­ward-spea­king way only, with no bud­get, during the most crow­ded time of the year on the streets, and with gre­at fear of poli­ce bru­ta­li­ty and street vio­lence. We were try­ing to form coher­ent acts and give our­sel­ves and our com­mu­ni­ty some cou­ra­ge to resist loud­ly against the war, in the streets we call home. we doc­cu­men­ted it.

The pro­ject has been sit­ting on my hard dri­ve for too long, and I know it car­ri­es a mes­sa­ge that is both chal­len­ging and urgent. I don’t have a bud­get yet, but I would be very hono­red to dis­cuss a retai­ner for an edi­tor or a pro­du­cer who would join me in this pro­ject if it’ll get funds. I’m loca­ted in Ber­lin and expe­ri­en­ced with low-bud­get ethics, so it’s important to me that my part­ner feels reward­ed in any means I can pro­vi­de.

I would glad­ly share our pro­ject mani­fest, my past work, and my expe­ri­ence as a direc­tor and edi­tor mys­elf, as a gra­dua­te of the Sam Spie­gel Film School in Jeru­sa­lem.

thank you for your time, and hope this mes­sa­ge will find its way to the right hearts 3>
