- Not a great deal of archival material about Wilfrid Israel has survived but, with the aid of photographs, a few documents, eyewitness interviews, and archival material relating to the rise of the Nazis, Yonatan Nir and his colleagues have created a fascinating picture of a man who was driven by his determination to save as many lives as possible. He saw the writing on the wall long before the great majority of German Jews and decided to use his great wealth for the rescue of as many people as possible. For example, he provided the finance for the creation of a children's settlement in Palestine, helped hundreds of his employees to emigrate (paying them two years' wages!), and not only inspired the Kindertransport movement but supported the operation financially.
- Documentary about English Egyptologist Flinders Petrie, the pioneer of systematic methodology in archaeology. Ancient Egypt was vandalised by tomb raiders and treasure hunters until this Victorian adventurer took them on. Most people have never heard of him, but this maverick undertook a scientific survey of the pyramids, discovered the oldest portraits in the world, unearthed Egypt's prehistoric roots - and in the process invented modern field archaeology, giving meaning to a whole civilisation.
- Munich: Operation Bayonet exposes the real story of the Israeli Mossad's "Bayonet" unit responsible for Israel's retaliation against the Palestinian Black September terrorist organization, following the 1972 massacre of eleven Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics.
- Closed-off to most of the world, the filmmakers were granted exclusive access to an isolated Jewish settlement in the Northern West Bank called Itamar which sits between two mountains- the Mountain of the Blessing and the Mountain of the Curse. On the night of March 11, 2011, two terrorists penetrated the security fence of the community, entered the home of the Fogel family, who were asleep in their beds, and brutally murdered the parents and three of their children, including a three-month-old who was nearly beheaded. THE BLESSING AND THE CURSE explores the aftermath of the crime and examines how the memory of that night still haunts the people of Itamar, and poses the question: Why would anyone choose to raise their family in such a dangerous place?
- In the aftermath of a colossal war, the Geo-political foundations of the world are crumbling. Tel Aviv is huge, bleak, crowded, over-industrialized, and foreboding. Ruins lie jumbled together on the outskirts of the megopolis. Misery and despair are in the eyes of the people. The world hovers on the cusp of tomorrow. A new age. A new dawn. And here, vampires roam. Azael is handsome, charismatic, brooding. A vampire prince, born in the ancient kingdom of the Ammonites over 3,000 years ago, he now takes cover as a modern civilian in the Israeli sector. Filled with conflict, the allure of darkness has begun to lose its power over him. What would it be like to walk in the sun again? What would it be like to be free of darkness and to know the truth? What is truth? Enter Ashmodai, the king of demons. When the king of heaven's fallen angelic host hatches a diabolical plan to stop the redemption of mankind, Azael must come to terms with the arch-demon's plan for his life. Overwhelmed, Azael believes he wants nothing more to do with darkness. He's through. Someone else wants the crown? They can have it. Inside, Azael is aching for a change, dying for redemption. Will he attain it? Because temptation is strong. Ultimate power. Ultimate rulership. Ultimate life. Without God.
- The amazing and inspiring life story of Wilfrid Israel is known only to very few. In the early years of the 1930's, Wilfrid's efforts helped save thousands of German Jews from the Nazis and his life story is as inspiring and impactful as that of other heroes from the Holocaust period, whose lives have been documented in books and films.
- Harold Rubin, an artist, Jazz musician and architect, left South Africa in 1963, after being charged with blasphemy for one of his paintings. He left behind Johannesburg, where he was born, raised and worked, and moved to Tel Aviv Israel, where he still lives today. "Magnificent Failure" follows Rubin's journey back to Johannesburg 44 years after his hasty departure. In Johannesburg of the 1950's Rubin was a leading artist, with a clear political agenda against the rule of apartheid, which he expressed in his art and music. Despite the prohibition of those days, he played Jazz with top black musicians like Kippie Moeketsi, Hugh Mesakela, and Jonas Ngwangwa. The blasphemy charge, with a pending imprisonment sentence, cut short his diverse and promising career. In Tel Aviv he has continued, for the past four decades, to paint and make music, this time aiming his arrows at mainstream Israeli society, but his audience eludes him. When his 75th birthday approached, his step daughter, the director Jasmine Kainy, began documenting his life in Tel Aviv and his journey back to Johannesburg. The film follows a year in the artist's life and documents his work, his family and his return to Johannesburg 2007, where he meets his past once again.
