Cinema South Festival is excited to launch a new, local documentary project that shines a spotlight on the stories of Sderot residents and the social wealth and diversity that characterize the city.
Sderotime is a documentary compilation of five perspectives, five stories of local residents, produced with the participation and professional mentorship of director Rafael Balulu.
Encounters took place between the professional staff and project participants from which an anthology of local and original documentary was formed.
Dvir, Uri and Natalie Maimon, Shira Avidan and Araleh Cohen, told their personal stories and provided their unique points of view that were shaped into short, personal and universal documentaries. From the five films, Sderot is depicted as another character – complex, human, alive and kicking.
The purpose of the project is to form a new platform for exciting local voices, to take part in the discourse about representation in film and television, while constantly seeking a refreshing documentary language and enterprise.
