The Loser Takes it All
Director of Photography
The Loser Takes it All tells the story of Israeli band Ping Pong. Their song "Be happy" (Sameach) was chosen to the 2000 Eurovision Song Contest in Stockholm, Sweden. The band insists to raise Israeli and Syrian flags on stage in their song as a symbol to the peace Israeli and Syrians are wishing for. Head of the delegation and Israeli broadcast association threaten that the band will not perform.
Shadows
Producer
The stories of Eitan, Yigal and Miri show how long the past can cast its shadows. Their Holocaust-surviving parents were abused by the Nazis, then became abusers themselves—their fear and grief transformed into aggression and anger towards their children. For the first time on-screen, children of Holocaust survivors talk openly about the mental and physical suffering they experienced. Stories of abuse contrast with cheerful-looking black-and-white photos of the families. Even the grandchildren appear to be suffering from their parents’ burden of sorrow and pain. The children's attempt to talk about the past, as with Eitan and his ailing mother and Miri with her son, seem futile. The palpable inability to make contact is almost unbearable. Shadows asks the unavoidable questions: how long will the Holocaust continue to exert its evil influence on future generations, and how can the demons of the past be exorcised?
