Synopsis:

IZKOR, Slaves of Memory (1991)
IZKOR, is a portrait of the Israeli society that has never been shown before, thirty days in the life of a state that lives to the rhythm of its memory. This award-winning film puts forward a passionate and severe analysis of the Hebrew state. 'IZKOR,' means "remember" in Hebrew and this film looks in depth at this imperative that is imposed on the children of Israel. In Israel during the month of April feast days and celebrations take place one after another. School children of all ages prepare to pay tribute to their country's past. The collective memory becomes a terribly efficient tool for the training of young minds. The author of the film is an Israeli. By going to rediscover the myths and symbols that have contributed to the making of his own identity, as well as that of every Israeli, he is bringing into play his own personal experience.

ITGABER, He Will Overcome (1993)
A filmed essay about an uncompromising man. Using vocabulary that can be understood by everyone, Yeshayahou Leibowitz, philosopher and scientist, shares with us his analysis of what makes Man : will, freedom, man's choices, what is imposed upon him and how, by 'triumphing over his own self', he can escape the heaviness of this world. Spiritual leader of the Israeli soldiers who refuse to carry out their military national service in the Occupied Territories, Prof Leibowitz, who has always been very attached to the idea of divine law, explains, in a very provocative way, his position with regards to the law and authority in general, and with regards to the Israeli State and government in particular. His uncompromising words force each individual to face up to their responsibilities, both as a human being and as a citizen.
