“Moments, Israel 2004: The Face of the Nation” is a continuation of the “Moments, Israel 2002” and “I Have a Dream, 2003” projects. 14 Israeli Filmmakers present 14 different faces of Israel, as they are reflected in each filmmaker’s lens. All the 3 minutes movies create together a mirror in every cinematic genre possible, from documentary and drama to satire and animation. In “Moments, Israel 2004” the filmmakers invite the viewer to look through them. Each of the films is an x-ray, on the sensory and experiential level. Each offers its own view, with its own universal or personal aspects, and tries to connect through them to the faces of the past, the present and the future. The series of films tries to define the non-geographic contours of the nation as they are expressed in its self-portrait. The variety of faces is as vast as the number of their makers, from downcast faces to an optimistic regard, from pain to a smile. These are all the faces of the nation, Israel 2004. Brief Directors’ CV:: 150 people submitted their proposals to “Moments, Israel 2004” and presented their views on “the face of the nation”, and among them, only 14 were selected. It was not easy to choose so few out of so many, but finally the selection was done, and the result is now before you. Most of the filmmakers are young professionals, and they already have experience in the cinematic field (some have made a short film or two and others made 50 minutes documentaries). The filmmakers also have experience in varied media fields such as digital media, animation, copywriting, advertising, journalism, and acting. Most of the filmmakers have a Bachelor degree in cinema studies, several of them have won scholarships and awards during their university studies, and some of them also have a MFA degree. Although they may have similar professional education, they come from different backgrounds and traditions, which contributes to the film’s diversity and creates a fascinating collage of views, outlooks and beliefs. The 14 filmmakers are as follows: Roni Aboulafia, Regev Contas, Noa Ben Hagai, Dov Gil Har, Jachin Hirsh, Yoni Zigler, Ayelet Bargur, Hani Mor Silverman & Maya Arad, Suha Arraf, Rona Tamir, Zvulun Moshiashvili, Amit Drori, Noam Meshulam, Asaf Shafir & Michael Klein.
