A series of documentary shorts about extraordinary journeys, unexpected triumphs, and boundaries overcome—whether personal, geographic, or cultural.
These true tales examine Dr Ruth’s origin story; a collective of revolutionary female filmmakers; a reluctant hero of the IDF; a poetic examination of Europe’s shifting borders; and a Torah scroll’s voyage to outer space.
Featured films: The Angel of History, I want to make a film about women, Image of Victory, Ruth: A Little Girl's Big Journey, and Space Torah.
The new Soviet Union of the 1920s championed equality for women and great innovation in the creative arts. Until it didn't. Looking back at that time, history remembers the men who were celebrated and then shut down.
But women were there, too, and they were influential, powerful and brilliant. I want to make a film about women gazes into a creative communal kitchen and watches these women transform it into a workshop, then a stage set, then a film, all the while juggling noisy men and the wolves of history. It imagines what the revolutionary women artists of the 1920s said, what they did, and what they might have created had it not been for Stalin's suppression.
