everytime I hear about a dadaist/surrealist film, I am always excited to watch, but I am slowly realizing that maybe I just don't like dadaism that much. There's something about slow-motion in early film, though. Feels more magical

Basically exists solely for some camera tricks and pretty colors, but at least they are very pretty colors

For a student film, it's pretty well-made. Very unnecessary subplot in here that feels like it's only there to justify making a feature-length version. There's something interesting in here about prejudice + the fascist desire to assign blame, but it kinda wusses out and doesn't dare to engage in anything politically meaningful. In that respect, it's similar to the other Israeli short in this year's Oscars, actually. Walks right up to the point and stops just short of challenging the status quo.

It will take generations to understand the denial we're in.

Heartening I guess to see that there is opposition to the genocide within Israel, but I can't say this inspires much confidence. The doc itself is pretty surface-level. There is no real engagement with the impact of the protest, beyond the verbal abuse they receive from passers by. Has the protest actually raised awareness? Are the protesters involved in any other actions against the genocide? What is their path forward?…
