The Shifting Sands

Directing: Madi Piller

Synopsis

Philosophical reflections on Israel blend into a personal struggle for identity: The filmmaker’s father came to Israel in 1946 as a Jewish refugee. The call for harmonic co-existence is imprinted in the falling grains from one image into another. Some of the scenes come from the documentary film Israel: Land of Destiny (1977, dir. Jacques Madvo). 

"By constructing the film entirely with an optical printer, moving images and pictures are drawn to rhythm and meaning. The philosophical words of Martin Buber invokes the reflection upon the reality." M. Piller
