I Invited 4 Ex-Couples To Chat In 1 Notebook

ADVERTISEMENT

NOTEBOOK is a short experimental film documenting four ex-couples who agreed to meet for a chat in a notebook in front of the camera. I asked them to communicate in silence. The camera allows viewers to observe the uncomfortable encounter, which is expressed in the body language of the participants. In the absence of the text, we can only guess the essence of the context and the complex history of the couples with each touch and gaze.

I created the short film NOTEBOOK because I wanted people to see how damaging texting communication is to our humanity and empathy. These days as we also deal with social distancing due to Covid19, it is important to remember that we are all missing the basic human interaction which is body language. We feel isolated and lonely and most of the time major misunderstandings happen because of texting. In order to preserve our relationships we should do all we can to communicate face to face and help each other to get through these difficult times.

I’m a filmmaker and storyteller. I believe human stories and quality filmmaking are a way to create impact, engage with one another, break down culture barriers, and promote empathy. I’m an ardent fan of short-form documentaries. To me, social media can be much more than consumerism and vlogs. I use the power of YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn to get art, culture, and meaningful content to viewers worldwide. My alternative culture channel on YouTube features high-quality content about art in Israel and beyond, and more recently about philosophy, psychology, and history. My web series YOTSRIM includes 74 episodes, each visiting the studio of a different independent creator in Israel. The series won an award for Best Documentary at NYC Web Fest 2019, and was screened at festivals around the world. My recent short documentary, ARTOPIA #Belfast, is about activist creators in Belfast. It was selected for screening at the Docaviv festival. My current web series, HAGUT, is an attempt to address social and political issues in Israel, through scholars and philosophers who share their views on my YouTube channel. I love taking part in master classes on web docs, and speaking about the importance of creating space for culture online. I also give lectures on Israel’s contemporary art & design scene, incorporating examples from my web series Yotsrim.
