The Israeli prime minister is suspected of serious bribery and fraud offenses, trying at all costs to maintain his position in power, even at the cost of harming Israeli democracy.

In the wreckage of a broken reality, through the debris of a post-traumatic society, all the manipulations of the alpha-politician, the admirable leader, are exposed. The great leader, the charismatic sorcerer’s speech - is heard in all its might and glory. It rings true to us, seems familiar, but its beautiful words are hollow and the precision of its delivery emphasizes what is actually being said - scraps of fiction for the masses, shells of lies and false promises.

In the next year - Becoming Jewish in Pakistan - 00:09:30 - Austria
This film portrays the story of the Bene Ephraim, a self-identifying Jewish community in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. Convinced that HaShem, the God of Israel, called them to return to Jerusalem for the end of days, the group keeps the Shabbat, practices circumcision, and mourns on Yom HaShoah, the Holocaust Remembrance Day. The Judaization of this formerly Christian community emerges from the converging plateaus of Judeophobia and Judeophilia in Pakistan, the transnational outreach of messianic Zionism in Israel, and the agentive capacity of this community’s media practices. This film is completely anonymized (all names have been changed) to ensure the security of the people participating. It experiments with cinematic ways of conveying intimate life stories without showing the protagonists’ faces.
