MovieDocumentary
Uri Avnery is the man who Israelis have loved to hate for over 50 years. For the first time the cinema gets to grip with the complex, contradictory and controversial figure of "the last Mohican of the radical left", the veteran peace campaigner and prominent journalist. It is a depiction of an uncompromising perpetual warrior who has paid a high personal price for his total loyalty to his beliefs. The film shuttles between past and present, between Avnery's public persona and the psychology of his inner world. It combines archive footage with present-day scenes to produce a well-rounded portrait, while simultaneously examining the very question it has set out to answer: how does one create a cinematic portrait?

MovieDocumentary
Doron Tsabari has accompanied Dudu Topaz over the past five years, during which the latter realized his dream of becoming the most popular man in Israel. We see him behind the set of his show, through the ups and downs of his relationship with his wife, friends, with his children, and during his rare moments alone with his personal struggles. With Topaz, one is never certain if it is all just part of a big show that he enjoys not only starring in and directing, but also viewing from the sidelines. This is a penetrating, funny and sad film about a TV star with no limits, whose love for himself depends entirely upon the audience’s love for him, a man who has succeeded in bursting open the spirit of the times and has crowned himself a post-modern king. King of the ratings.
