Searching for Haifa - The story of Shimon Holly
Israel \ 2026
Shimon Holy, a brilliant, one of a kind guitar hero from Haifa, was once a major promise in the city’s music and cultural scene of the 1970s. One night in 1980, he meets the world’s greatest guitarist for a spellbinding jam session that changes his life. Then he disappears. What remains is a local legend and a rare recording that suggests it all really happened.
The film sets out to find him, but also to trace the legend, the city of Haifa, and what’s left of that scene.
Through conflicting memories, old friends, and sounds still lingering in the air, a story unfolds about talent, missed chances, and the fine line between life and myth.
Dazed and Confused
The film follows a group of high school students in Texas on the last day of school in 1976, drifting between parties, cruising the streets, and chasing the freedom of adolescence.
It became one of the most beloved cult films of the 1990s and the movie that introduced Matthew McConaughey to the world.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
USA / 1998
Journalist Raoul Duke (Johnny Depp) and his attorney Dr. Gonzo (Benicio del Toro) set out on an assignment to Las Vegas in a convertible, armed with a suitcase full of drugs. What begins as coverage of a desert motorcycle race quickly spirals into a hallucinatory journey of total breakdown and surreal chaos.
Under Terry Gilliam’s visually inventive direction, the pair plunge into a whirlwind of hallucinations and extreme encounters that blur the line between reality and nightmare. Based on Hunter S. Thompson’s iconic novel, the film delivers a dark and biting satire on the collapse of 1960s counterculture and the disintegration of the American Dream.
A wild cult classic, it has become one of the most talked-about and extreme cinematic experiences in Hollywood history.
Johnny Depp lived in Hunter S. Thompson’s basement for four months to study his voice and mannerisms, allowed the author to shave his head, and even used Thompson’s real clothes and car during filming.
Benicio del Toro gained around 18 kilograms in a short period—reportedly by eating large quantities of donuts daily – to achieve the disheveled look of Dr. Gonzo, and conducted extensive research on the real-life inspiration for the character, Oscar Zeta Acosta.

Japan / 2008
Anyone who doesn’t love an anime about connection, love, and innocence — where the world of the sea meets the world of humans – must have a heart of ice.

A five-year-old boy named Sosuke rescues her, and together they embark on a magical adventure that tests their courage and the strength of true friendship.

On this narrative foundation, Alfred Hitchcock created one of the most brilliant thrillers in the history of cinema.
Yes, it can be read as an allegory for cinematic voyeurism, and yes, it features yet another Hitchcockian protagonist haunted by anxiety toward women. But at the end of the day, it is simply further proof of Hitchcock’s greatness.
The ingenious plot, the superb performances by James Stewart and Grace Kelly, and the virtuoso, self aware use of the camera come together to create a film that is both immensely entertaining and deeply thought provoking.
In the mood for love - Heb subs
Hong Kong / 2000
We love Wong Kar-wai, and we love stories about unfulfilled desire.
In early 1960s Hong Kong, Chow and Mrs. Chan move into a crowded apartment building. Over time, they discover that their spouses are having an affair. Out of this pain grows a fragile, delicate bond, filled with longing and a quiet human warmth that struggles to break free.
Wong Kar-wai has a gift for turning everyday moments into cinematic poetry. A fleeting glance in the hallway, a late-night bowl of noodles, a suit changed from one day to the next—all become vessels for expressing the inner worlds of his characters and their wounded hearts. The result is a mesmerizing, sensual, and deeply moving film that lingers long after the screen fades to black.

באמצעות מגוון הטקסים, אנשים מגיבים למציאות ומנסים לעצב אותה מחדש.
במקביל, המבט שב וחוזר אל נוף עזה ההולכת וחרבה, דימוי שהופך בעצמו לטקס לאומי
