Pini Tavger's 'Pinhas' Wins 6Th Edition of Sam Spiegel Film Lab | Variety Pini Tavger’s ‘Pinhas’ Wins 6th Edition of Sam Spiegel Film Lab | Variety http://variety.com/2017/film/global/pini-tavgers-pinhas-wins-6th-edition-of... JULY 16, 2017 | 06:35AM PT YOSSI ZWECKER(C) [email protected] Pini Tavger’s “Pinhas,” a film project exploring the Jewish identity through the eyes of a 12-year old boy, won the top prize at the sixth edition of Sam Spiegel International Film Lab, a program running alongside Jerusalem Film Festival. “Pinhas,” which marks the feature debut of actor-director Tavger and is based on his student short film, received a production grant worth $50,000 from the Beracha Foundation. Haim Mecklberg (pictured above with Tavger) at Tel Aviv- based outfit 2-Team Productions (“Sand Storm”) is producing. The project centers on a young boy, Pinhas, and his hard-working, heretic mother who are new immigrants from Russia living in Israel. The story revolves around Pinhas’s relationship with a religious man who helps him find a sense of belonging and initiate him to judaism against his mother’s will. The Sam Spiegel Lab’s jury was presided over Hengameh Panahi, the founder 1 of 4 8/2/17, 6:42 PM Pini Tavger’s ‘Pinhas’ Wins 6th Edition of Sam Spiegel Film Lab | Variety http://variety.com/2017/film/global/pini-tavgers-pinhas-wins-6th-edition-of... and president of Paris-based outfit Celluloid Dreams, and included Beki Probst, president of the European Film Market, Carlo Chatrian, Locarno’s director, Laurent Hassid, the head of foreign film acquisition at Canal Plus, Cédomir Kolar (“Album”), Katriel Schory, the director of the Israel Film Fund, and Vincenzo Bugno, project manager of the World Cinema Fund. “A fascinating sensitive and conflictual script based on semi-autobiographic hardships beautifully presented through a scene for the upcoming film; and an emotional presentation that touched the audience,” said the jury about “Pinhas.” Tavger previously directed “Tipot,” a short film that was part of the Israeli- Palestinian omnibus feature which opened Venice Film Festival in 2012. The Sam Spiegel Lab handed out its second prize of $20,000 (also from the Beracha Foundation) to two projects: “Naked Sky,” directed by Dea Kulumbegashvili and produced by Rati Oneli, and “Highway 65,” directed by Maya Dreifuss and produced by Estee-Yacov Mecklberg. The initiative, launched in 2011 by Renen Schorr, the venerable founding director of Sam Spiegel Film and Television school – with the help of associate director Ifat Tubi — allows filmmakers to work on the scripts of their first or second feature for 6 months with high-profile mentors, such as Clare Downs, Jacques Akchoti and Eran Riklis. So far, as much as 75% of the Lab’s projects have been shot in the U.S., France, Germany, Israel, Argentine, Sri Lanka and Iceland, among other places, and have world premiered at festivals such as Cannes, Berlin, Venice, Tribeca and Sundance. Laszlo Nemes (“Son of Saul”), Nadav Lapid (“The Kindergarten Teacher”) and Burhan Qurbani (“We Are Young. We Are Strong”) for instance participated in previous editions of Sam Spiegel Lab. This year’s Sam Spiegel Lab event gathered more than 30 top international film industry professionals, including sales agents, distributors, festival programmers and festivals. In 2016, Sam Spiegel Lab’s top prize was awarded to Yona Rozenkier’s feature debut “Decompression,” a comedy-laced drama about an unemployed young family man who is forced to embark on a cross-country road trip with his estranger father in Israel. 2 of 4 8/2/17, 6:42 PM Pini Tavger’s ‘Pinhas’ Wins 6th Edition of Sam Spiegel Film Lab | Variety http://variety.com/2017/film/global/pini-tavgers-pinhas-wins-6th-edition-of... “Decompression” is back at the festival this year as part of the Pitch Point conference, another industry event organized alongside the festival.

It is located near the southern area of the Jordan valley. The salt-rich Dead Sea is the lowest point on the earth's surface, being 400 meters below sea level. The air around the Dead Sea is unpolluted, dry, and pollen-free with low humidity, providing a naturally relaxing environment. The air in the region has a high mineral content due to the constant evaporation of the mineral rich water. 3. The Dead Sea comes in the list of the world's greatest landmarks, and is sometimes considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. People usually miss out on this as they do not realize the importance of its unique contents. The Dead Sea has twenty-one minerals which have been found to give nourishment to the skin, stimulate the circulatory system, give a relaxed feeling, and treat disorders of the metabolism and rheumatism and associate pains. The Dead Sea mud has been used by people all over the world for beauty purposes.

  • 181 Chapter Five Back to the Army
    Chapter Five Back to the Army: the Privatization of the War Experience as David vs David 181 182 5.1 From the Second Intifada to the Wars of the New Millennium “In the second Intifada, we, Jews and Palestinians, reverted to primal warfare: rocks, knives, vendettas, an eye for an eye, blood and soil, dismembered bodies. Israeli called it “the situation”. […] A kind of frozen time. […] The distinction between home and battlefield melted away. The entire country was the front line” (Boaz Neummann, 2010, pag. X-XI). The New Millennium, the end of Hegemony and the Onset of Cultural Plurality “Thirty years later, today’s army, the senior officers who remain from those days, and the same politicians who were involved in the war then are still trying to keep the public in the dark. The truth, nonetheless, is gradually being revealed” (Ashkenazi, 2003). As Kimmerling argues accurately in his work “The Invention and Decline of Israeliness,” alongside the already existing cleavage between Jews and Palestinians, the conquest of territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in the 1967 war gradually introduced another major sociopolitical fall into the system: “‘Holy sites’ out of the Israeli state’s control since the 1948 war were once again in Jewish hands, raising strong religious (often messianic) sentiments among the Israeli secular and religious Jewish population. This overwhelming victory, after a long and traumatic period of waiting, was frequently presented in terms of divine intervention in Jewish history, the antithesis of the Holocaust and continuation of the “miraculous” victory in the 1948 war and the establishment of a Jewish sovereign state” (Kimmerling, 2001, p.113).
