Good Times

Is it possible to remember great suffering and frustration with affection and nostalgia? Yes, if one day you wake up and find yourself faced with something even greater. Screened at international festivals, winning 17+ prizes including the Jury Award at Full Frame and the Ver.di award at DOK Leipzig.

Almost Paradise

Tropical Islands — the world's biggest indoor tropical resort — opened in 2004 in an old airship hangar in Brandenburg, next to Brand, a small village with high unemployment. Filmed what happened between them, from opening until the resort's temporary closure three years later.

In the Bubble

Jerusalem and Tel Aviv, friends' apartments, streets. The distance between a curfew and a beach party is shorter than you'd think from the outside. People learn to hold both at once and call it normal. We called ours the bubble.

Relatively Free

Made for the IDC – International Documentary Challenge, where filmmakers had 5 days to make a short documentary. Won first prize in the general competition (76 films from across the globe) and Best Use of Social/Political Issue.
