Karov la bayit

dir. Vidi Bilu, Dalia Hagar

Israel, 2005 - 90

Two young women, Mirit and Smadar, are serving their compulsory duty in the Israeli army. Their different personalities and different approach to duty are a constant source of conflict. One day, the respectful and obedient Mirit and the rebellious Smadar are put on patrol duty together. This is the first film about women in the Israeli army, and one that debunks the myth surrounding the army in Israel. A searing study of Israeli women, for whom compulsory army service is just another stage before they start the adult portion of their life. “As women who live in Israel, we nourish the military myth like every other citizen of the country. We support the men and are supposed to become like them. Renouncing this pattern is perceived as betrayal”, say the directors.

The Karamazovs (project)

Karamazovi

dir. Petr Zelenka

Czechia / Poland, 2007 - 100

SYNOPSIS: An abandoned, run-down factory in the south of Poland, or north at the docks in Gdansk… a big, unused industrial space on a hot Summer day. The people examining the space are not a bunch of tourists. They are visiting-actors from Prague, Czech Republic. Tomorrow they have a performance of their play at the local theatre festival. They were supposed to rehearse today in the theatre but all the rooms there are full. Somebody arranged for them to rehearse here, in a nearby factory hall. Remnants of the old machinery and old junk make for an improvised set. The only “audience” being a few night guards and security technicians, the only living creatures left in the factory. There aren’t many of them and they haven’t much to do. It has been a long time since the space was used last. It is about to be demolished anyway. But today there was a tragedy in the factory. A little boy, the son of a night watchman, had fallen from a metal catwalk and seriously injured his spine. They took him to the hospital. His father is in a state of shock. He can do nothing but wait for the news from the operating room. The show that is to be rehearsed is Brothers Karamazov, the performance that has been showing in Dejvicke Theatre in Prague for five years now, their best piece for sure. It is an excellent dramatization by Evald Schorm of Dostoyevsky’s novel, with a superb cast (Ivan Trojan – old Karamazov – known to Polish audience from “Loners / Samotni” or “Wrong Side Up”, Martin Myšička, David Novotný, Radek Holub, Igor Chmela).
