On March 22, the Institute welcomed Orit Fouks Rotem, writer/director of Cinema Sabaya.
In the film, Dana Ivgy ("Zero Motivation") leads a cast of professionals and untrained actors in this documentary-style feature. Nine women, Arab and Jewish, take part in a video workshop to learn how to document their lives, hosted by a young film director named Rona. As the women begin to film their lives and share their raw footage with the rest of the group, the group dynamic shifts, forcing each of them to challenge their views and beliefs as they get to know one another and themselves better.
