RAVING REVIEW:\u00a0<\/strong>Orit Fouks Rotem’s directorial debut is a testament to cinema’s transformative power. It follows a group of women from diverse backgrounds as they come together for a videography workshop at a community center in a small town. The film masterfully delves into their complexities and explores motherhood, financial independence, and self-discovery themes. The film was reminiscent of last year’s Oscar-nominated documentary WRITING WITH FIRE, not entirely because of the subject but more because of the thrill of learning and adventure throughout the film.<\/p>\n

\n

This film was born from Rotem’s experience and the inspiration she drew from her mother’s participation in a photography course that brought together Arab and Jewish women. Rotem’s firsthand knowledge of similar programs in cities like Acre and Givat Haviva is evident in the film’s portrayal of these women’s lives.<\/p>\n

Casting was a crucial aspect of the film, and Rotem chose women whose personal stories aligned with the central themes. The use of non-professional actresses only adds to the film’s emotional impact, making it a raw and intimate look at women’s lives. Again, making the film feel like a documentary at times.<\/p>\n

Its demonstration of the art of cinema’s ability to bring people together is a triumph and a must-see for any film lover. Israel submitted it as their official entry for the 95th Academy Awards.<\/p>\n

The film shines a light on Rotem’s exceptional talent as a filmmaker and showcases cinema’s power to challenge societal norms and break down barriers. It is a film that will leave a lasting impact and inspire and engage audiences for years to come. Whether you are a seasoned film buff or a newcomer to the cinema, this film is a must-watch.<\/p>\n
