On The Way Back | Directed by Moshe Rosenthal (IL 2018) in Hebrew with English subtitles. 26 min.
Kilometre 147 opens with a dead camel lying on the road way out in the desert, just before kilometre 147. Four guest workers from Thailand ran into it. A policeman asks in halting English who was driving. All four raise their hands. A grotesque argument unfolds between two officers, Nave and Moti. They are from two different settlements and come to blows about who has to dispose of the camel.
Kilometre 147 | Directed by Boaz Frankel (IL 2017) in Hebrew with English subtitles. 19 min.
Donkeys In The Holy Land. A huge truck with two dolphins swimming in a water tank speeds through the desert before the eyes of three fearless donkeys. Not by chance, the monstrosity reminds viewers of Spielberg’s Duel.
Donkeys In The Holy Land | Directed by David Volach (IL 2016) without dialogue. 5 min.
