This powerful collection of narratives explores the themes of realism, identity, resilience, and the fragile balance between past and present. “Between Bullets and Lens” offers a firsthand look at journalists’ harrowing experiences covering the October 7th Hamas attack. Other films showcase a child experiencing the tension between innocence and the weight of family responsibilities, a deeply religious woman grappling with the boundaries of faith and modern medicine, and a Holocaust survivor searching for a true sense of belonging in a post-trauma world. In addition, a dedicated shoemaker fights to preserve his family’s legacy against the tides of time, and a film director, facing the anxiety and jealousy stirred by his movie's premiere, is forced to confront what truly matters in life.
Meir is a heartwarming drama about a devoted shoemaker who runs a small, family-owned shop alongside his two brothers. When a rowdy neighboring nightclub begins to disrupt their business, Meir’s brothers see an opportunity and consider selling the shop to the club’s owners. But Meir refuses to let go of their father’s legacy. Determined to preserve their roots and the values they were raised on, he pushes back against the sale. As tensions within the family mount and outside pressures grow, Meir must balance loyalty to his past with the realities of the present—fighting to protect not just a business, but a way of life.
