Cinci ani. Ediia a cincea.


Cu cinci ani n urm ncepeam pregtirile pentru prima
ediie. Plini de grijile unei astfel de complexe ntreprinderi,
nu aveam atunci timp pentru a ne imagina aceast ediie,
aceast zi. i oricum prea foarte ndeprtat.
Acum, privind n urm, descoperim un adevrat drum al
vieii. Un drum al cunoaterii i autocunoaterii, un itinerariu
cultural i existenial. Un drum pe care l-am parcurs cu
pasiune, cu druire, dar i cu greeli, cu nereuite.
Un drum de care suntem mndri, cci ntr-o lume n care
unii nvrjbesc, separ, distrug, Festivalul Filmului Evreiesc
Bucureti ncearc s alunge nencrederea, s redea bucuria
cunoaterii, s adune, s mprieteneasc i s ofere un
viitor comun. Un viitor n care fiecare s vin cu motenirea
identitii sale.
Dup cum aflat chiar de la nceput, un astfel de proiect
ncepe s fie recunoscut ca o ntreprindere serioas de-abia

Five years ago, I was preparing, along with my team, the


first edtion of the Bucharest Jewish Film Festival. We were so
caught up in the moment back then, we did not have time to
envision its fifth edition, happening today. It seemed to be so
far ahead in time.
Now, looking back, we discover this life path we took. A
path of knowledge and self knowledge, a cultural and
existential itinerary. A road which weve took on with
passion, commitment, but also a tough road, on which weve
encountered difficulties and failures. A road we are proud
of. In a world where people quarrel, separate and destroy,
the Jewish Film Festival in Bucharest strives to bring people
together, restore their faith in living together even if different,
bring them the joy of knowing each other and a vision of a
better future. A future where each individual can contribute
with his personal heritage.
From the very first moment, people told us that such a project

dup ediia a cincea. Pn atunci, se spune, este o doar


o ncercare ce se poate pierde repede n praful timpului.
Sper ca itinerariul cinematografic, pe care vi-l propunem
astzi, s dovedeasc faptul c Festivalul Filmului Evreiesc
Bucureti este pe cale s devin o stnc n calea timpului.

will pass its maturity exam only after its fifth edition. Until then,
it is believed to be only an experiment, which could be quickly
forgotten as time goes by. We hope that the cinemattographic
itinerary, which we will bring to you during the actual edition,
will take you on a journey which will prove that the Bucharest
Jewish Film Festival passes the test of time and is here to stay.

depth and deadpan comedy, Mr. Kaplan is a meditation on family, aging, and the
drive for significance.

One casual morning, the daily life of Gregor Samsa takes a strange turn when he is
transformed into a gigantic bug and he is forced to endure the disparaging attitude
of his family and society towards him. The Metamorphosis by Pencho is a movie,
which adheres rigidly to the original novella and equally powerfully shows us how a
sudden change is perceived as a monstrous metamorphosis - a story with both literal
and allegorical interpretation.

VO: Ebraic / Hebrew

Constnd ntr-un singur cadru-secven de 85 minute, Ana Arabia surprinde un
moment din viaa unui orel de proscrii, evrei i arabi, care convieuiesc ntr-o enclav,
la grania dintre Jaffa i Bat Yam, n Israel. ntr-o zi, sunt vizitai de ctre o tnr
jurnalist pe nume Yael. Printre barcile drpnate, prin livada de lmi nconjurat
de imense case publice, Yael descoper personaje foarte diferite de stereotipurile din
regiune. Simte c a descoperit o min de aur. Nu se mai gndete la meseria ei. Figurile
i cuvintele lui Youssef i Miriam, Sarah i Walid, ale vecinilor i prietenilor acestora i
povestesc despre via i vise, sperane, dragoste, dorine i iluzii. Raportarea lor la timp
este diferit fa de cea a oamenilor din oraele nconjurtoare. n acest loc prfuit i
fragil, exist posibilitatea convieuirii. O metafor universal.
Filmed in one sequence-shot of 85 minutes, Ana Arabia is a moment in the life of
a small community of outcasts, Jews and Arabs, who live together in a forgotten
enclave at the border between Jaffa and Bat Yam, in Israel. One day, Yael, a young
journalist, visits them. In these dilapidated shacks, in the orchard filled with lemon
trees and surrounded by mass public houses, she discovers a range of characters far
removed from the usual clichs offered by the region. Yael has the feeling of having
discovered a human goldmine. She no longer thinks of her job. Faces and words of
Youssef and Miriam, Sarah and Walid, of their neighbors, their friends tell her about
life, its dreams and its hopes, its love affairs, desires and disillusions. Their relation to
time is different than that of the city around them. In this tinkered and fragile place,
there is a possibility of coexistence. A universal metaphor.

Israel, unde a absolvit Facultatea de Film i Televiziune din cadrul Universitii din Tel Aviv. Este

peisajul cinematografiei israeliene ca un personaj cu o viziune nou i autentic, nc de la primul
su lungmetraj, care a ctigat Premiul Wolgin la Festivalul de Film din Ierusalim. Filmele sale pot
fi prezentate drept experiene ale exilului i nstrinrii, att fizice ct i psihice, precum i drept
o privire intransigent asupra realitii israeliene. Fiecare dintre acestea reflect existena ca pe o
realitate stranie, exacerbat i comprimat, n care toate variabilele se ntreptrund, reuind astfel
s creeze o stare oniric, iluzorie.

Joseph Pichhadze was born in Tbilisi, Georgia, in 1965 and immigrated to Israel with his family
in 1972. He graduated from the Department of Film & Television at the Tel-Aviv University. He
is considered one of the preeminent filmmakers in Israel. Even with his first feature film, which
won the Wolgin Award at the Jerusalem Film Festival, Pichhadze stood out as a new and unique
voice in the local cinema landscape. His films can be characterized by experiences of exile and
estrangement, both physical and mental, and a birds eye view over Israeli reality, showcasing, each
in its own right, the local existence as a peculiar, intensified, and compressed reality, where all these
varied ingredients collapse onto one another, thus creating a sort of dream or illusion.

formarea multor generaii. Darwish a crescut n timpul regimului militar. Nu a avut
libertate de micare i nu a putut s prseasc Haifa. n 1964, a scris poezia-protest
Noteaz: Sunt Arab, care a atras antipatia autoritilor. Darwish a fost condamnat,

Write Down, I Am an Arab tells the fascinating story of the Palestinian national
poet Mahmoud Darwish. His poetry molded Palestinian identity and helped shape
entire generations. Darwish grew up under a military government, which denied him
freedom of movemen and left him confined to the city of Haifa. In 1964 he wrote
the defiant poem Write down: I am an Arab. The work succeeded in provoking
the ire of the authorities. Darwish was sent to prison and became a national icon for
the entire Arab world. Through his poetry, secret love letters that have only just been
revealed and rare archival materials, we will get to know the man, the exile and the
lover, whose words became the clarion call of the Palestinian people.

Subtitrri / Subtitles: Romn, Englez / Romanian, English

Vals cu Bashir, cvasi-documentarul de animaie al regizorului Ari Folman, prezint


ncercarea acestuia de a i aminti ce s-a ntmplat ntr-o noapte din septembrie
1982. n acea noapte, membrii miliiei cretine au masacrat peste 3,000 de
refugiai palestinieni, n timp ce soldaii israelieni nconjurau Beirutul. Folman
s-a numrat printre soldaii israelieni, dar, dup 20 de ani, amintirile sale sunt
neclare. Dup ce un prieten i povestete un comar n care era alergat de 26 de
cini nspimnttori, Folman concluzioneaz c acest vis are legtur cu misiunea
din Rzboiul din Liban. Cnd i d seama c aproape toate amintirile sale din
acea perioad au fost terse cu buretele, Folman pleac ntr-o cltorie pentru a
intervieva vechi prieteni i camarazi de rzboi.
Director Ari Folmans animated, quasi-documentary Waltz With Bashir follows the
filmmakers emotional attempt to decipher the horrors that unfolded one night in
September of 1982, when Christian militia members massacred more than 3,000
Palestinian refugees in the heart of Beirut, as Israeli soldiers surrounded the area.
Folman was one of those soldiers, but nearly 20 years after the fact, his memories of
that night remain particularly hazy. After hearing an old friend recall a vivid nightmare
in which he is pursued by 26 ferocious dogs, Folman and his friend conclude that
the dream must somehow relate to that fateful mission during the first Lebanon
War. When Folman realizes that his recollections regarding that period in his life
seem to have somehow been wiped clean, he travels the world to interview old
friends and fellow soldiers from the war.

Ephraim Kishon (August 23, 1924 January 29, 2005) was an Israeli author,
dramatist, screenwriter, and Oscar-nominated film director. Ephraim Kishon was
born on August 23, 1924 in a middle-class Jewish family in Budapest, Hungary. In his
youth he did not know Hebrew nor Yiddish. His father worked as a bank manager
and his mother was a former secretary. Due to the racial laws applied in Hungary
during World War II, he was not allowed to continue his studies at the university
and therefore he began to study jewelry making in 1942. During World War II, the
Nazis imprisoned him in several concentration camps. At one camp his chess talent
helped him survive, as the camp commandant was looking for an opponent. He
eventually managed to escape the concentration camps while being transported
to the Sobibor extermination camp and returned to Budapest, where he discovered
that his parents and sister had survived, but many other family members had been
murdered in the gas chambers at Auschwitz. In 1945, Kishon returned to Hungary,
where he continued to study art and writing. In 1948 he completed his studies in
metal sculpturing and art history and began publishing humorous articles under the
name Franz Kishunt. In 1949 he immigrated to the newly founded state of Israel,
to escape the Communist regime. When arriving in Israel, an immigration officer
officially Hebraicized his name to Ephraim Kishon. In 2003, he won the Israel Prize
for lifetime achievement.

The film deals with a personal experience, in which a person feels helpless and powerless

inhibited; In that crucial period that is the transformation from adolescence into a figure
of authority. This process which the protagonist goes through is true also for the film
itself. The film will change its tone, and like the daylight gradually disappears and a black
night envelopes the group, so does the films light and casual tone changes into a more
dramatic and disturbing one. The way in which the protagonist perceives the reality
around her turns dark and nightmarish.

Three girls in an empty house, according to their own rules. They know the

a tiny crack, through which something new is sneaking in, something unknown,
somewhat attracting, intriguing, exciting.
A delicate moment that bears inner intensity. Something almost forbidden, that must
be kept secret, somewhere along the thin borders between innocent, pleasurable
enchantment on the one hand and a sober, question posing consciousness on the
other; A renewed acquaintance with themselves, facing themselves, facing one
another; not a word said, no reason given.

nscut i a crescut n Irak. A petrecut 13 ani scriind cartea, care descrie viaa evreilor
din Irak n pragul ntemeierii Statului Israel. Un aspect unic al acestei producii este

din Irak care a afectat comunitatea evreiasc din Bagdad dup Farhud-ul din iunie
1941, cnd evreii irakieni au fost atacai i ucii, iar proprietile lor au fost jefuite.
Portretizeaz att felul n care comunitatea evreiasc a fost persecutat de ctre
societatea arab, ct i legturile de prietenie care le unesc.
Farewell Baghdad is a film based largely on the novel by the Israeli writer Eli
Amir, who was born and raised in Iraq. He spent 13 years writing the book, which
describes the life of the Jews of Iraq on the eve of the establishment of the State of
Israel. What is unique about this film is that the actors speak almost entirely in the
Iraqi Arabic dialects spoken by the Jews and Muslims of Baghdad.
Farewell Baghdad depicts the volatile political atmosphere in Iraq which affected
the Jewish community in Baghdad after the Farhud of June 1941, when Iraqi Jews
were attacked and killed and Jewish property was looted. It portrays a Jewish
community that was affected by the Arab society around it, while at the same time
bound by ties of friendship.

Povestea lui Shuly Barzilay este incredibil. Subjugat de armul carismaticului Goel
Ratzon, a devenit mna lui dreapt i l-a susinut financiar, ndeplinindu-i toate
capriciile. Le-a convins pn i pe cele trei fiice ale sale s se cstoreasc cu el.
Prima care a acceptat a fost Sheri, care avea doar 18 ani, pe cnd Ratzon avea 50.
Urmtoarea a fost Ilanit, n vrst de 22 de ani, care era divorat i avea un copil.
Ultima a fost Galit, care avea numai 14 ani. Ea a spus c a fost de acord pentru c
aa s-a decretat. Filmul nu prezint povestea cultului lui Goel Ratzon, ci pe cea a
trei femei frumoase i talentate. Aciunea filmului se desfoar la cinci ani dup ce
l-au prsit pe Ratzon i dup ce acesta a fost condamnat la 30 de ani de nchisoare.
Cele trei femei i alte 14 ncearc s i dea seama de ce au acceptat s fie cu Ratzon,
dar nu pot gsi un rspuns.

Shuly Barzilays story is incredible. Captivated by the charm of the charismatic Goel
Ratzon, she became his right-hand woman, financially supporting him and fulfilling
his every whim. She even convinced her three daughters to become his wives. The
first to agree was Sheri, who was only 18, while Ratzon was 50. Then came Ilanit,
a 22-year-old divorcee with a child. The last to agree was Galit, aged 14. Although
she was still a minor, she agreed, she said, because it was decreed. This isnt a film
about Goel Ratzons cult. It is the story of three beautiful, talented women. Now,
five years after leaving Ratzon, and after he was sentenced to 30 years in prison,
they still struggle to understand why they stayed with him, together with 14 other
women. But they have no answer.

an audience, without critics, and without theater managers to share his whimsical
dreams.
