Tal Vinogradov: The View From My Window / Israel, 5 min
Through the eyes of the child I was and the adult I have become, I examine the view from my childhood home in Pisgat Ze'ev in North Jerusalem: a beautiful view of sky and mountains, but also of the Separation Wall and Shuafat Refugee Camp.

Uri Wolf: BORDERS / Israel, 21 min
Alon, a Jewish boy, and Miada, a Muslim girl, live in Jaffa and are in love. Their love is put to the test when riots break out in Israel’s ethnically mixed cities in 2021.

Ifat Nener Orgad : We Have Sinned Before You/ Israel, 20 min
Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, is the only day of the year when the Dagan family does not use any electronic devices. When Roni suggests playing a game where everyone has to ask for forgiveness for something bad they did, and everyone has to forgive, she does not imagine what secrets and difficulties will arise from this innocent game.

Hofit Sigavi: Nissim/ Israel, 9 min
Hadassah and Arye Cohen are a couple of immigrants from postwar Europe. Arye, a police officer, comes to his friends’ help on a stormy night, saving babies from a maternity home whose roof had collapsed.
The childless couple are asked to look after a baby of Yemenite origin named Nissim, until his family is located. Months pass, but no one claims Nissim. Hadassah is becoming attached to the newborn and Arye is worried. One day, Arye sees, at the police station, an ad looking for Nissim. What will he do now? Will he tell Hadassah? Will they have to part from the toddler who has become their own?

Brit Magari : Superstar / Israel, 20 min
Bilbi's whole world lies between her job at a convenience store, her small apartment above the laundromat across the street, and her boyfriend. But an unexpected turn of events makes her understand how alone she is and that she will have to build some firmer foundations for her life.

Lev Brodinsky: My Name Is Dania / Israel, 22 min
Dania (35) visits his father, Abrasha, who lives in public housing for immigrants and has Alzheimer's disease. Abrasha doesn't recognize his son and only wants to go home, even though he's already there.
