Renowned Israeli producer Arik Bernstein of Alma Films had Wednesday morning to outline the difficulties surrounding the 2008 project Gaza Sderot as he looks to repeat the success of the online series in different context but within a similar format. On Wednesday night, Jean-Pierre Rehm introduced the screening of The Dubai in Me by German musician and filmmaker Christian von Borries.
On Thursday, Israeli editor and filmmaker Erez Laufer enlightened audiences on the dramatic structure of documentaries, analyzed details from his work on the Academy Award nominated My Country My Country and treated us to intriguing film excerpts.
