City of Soul

Jerusalem, the city I was born in.
A city with profound meaning to so many people throughout the history of time.

I spent 3 months photographing the city. Seeking for special moments which stood out in my daily routine.
Showing that this city is free and alive, even if sometimes it seems like it’s not.

Staff award winer of the “Inspired by Israel” video contest.

Sipur Am

During 2016, Beit Avi Chai hosted a festival called “Sipur Am”.

The festival celebrated various cultures and their contribution to Israeli society. I filmed those events and created a short film summarizing the festival.

Kaze Hayita

Tzvika Lavi was one of my brother’s close friends.
Tzvika was seriously wounded at the beginning of the war and after almost a month of fighting, he died of his wounds.
The loss was not easy for Aviv.
The connection between them was so deep and meaningful.
I discovered how much Tzvika was a role model and inspiration for him.
As part of his way of processing this loss, Aviv started writing a song.
A song that talks about Tzvika’s path, about who he was and what he was to others.
After a difficult journey, he managed to team up with Aaron Razel who composed and sang the song together with Aviel Sultan.
Of course, I couldn’t stand on the side and not be a part of this important creation, and that’s how I created the music video for the song.
Hoping that the song will help spread the light and way of Tzvika in the world.

Eye of Nature

For a school project we were asked to create a promo for a film festival.
I decided to create a festival dedicated to nature films called “Eye of Nature”

For the promo I took still images I had captured over the years and “brought them to life”.

 

Saorsa

This is the story about man and nature.

“Saorsa” is an ancient Scottish word for “Freedom”,
Something all of us- man and animal, strive to achieve.
Sometimes, us humans, take it away from others.

Nefesh B’Nefesh Charter Flights

In the summer of 2022 and 2023 I got a glimpse of what it is like to make Aliyah.
I was honored to join and document the 63rd and 64th charter flights of Nefesh B’Nefesh to Israel, full of hundreds of new olim. In was an exciting and emotional journey, all summed up in these short highlights videos I created.
Thank you to everyone at Nefesh B’Nefesh for bringing me on this journey!
