German Shepherd
Nils Bergendal, Sweden, 10m
As a Jew growing up in Baltimore, David’s vision of Germany (and Germans) was shaped by the stories of his Holocaust-survivor mother; later in life, he reflects on whether it is possible to overcome this history. Stylistically simple yet philosophically potent, this animated documentary poses difficult questions about our capacity to forgive unimaginable acts of evil.
Longing
Nadav Mishali, Israel, 20m
Hebrew with English subtitles
Every month Michal dips herself in the Mikveh and dreams of her husband—but when the long-awaited night arrives, bupkis. His absence and the deterioration of their intimacy awakens suspicions about his true identity.
