CRAZY SPRING a film by Chen Shelah
The film had a World premiere at the Jerusalem Film Festival 2025

Neri Aluma, Hanan’s mother, is determined to reignite her son’s passion for life as he struggles with mental illness. Neri is a writer. Hanan, a musician, has been writing and singing since the age of 13. Through their creative work, they break down the walls of silence and concealment that separate the outside world from the storm within their home. Art allows them to engage in dialogue and create meaning and beauty within the chaos the entire family endures. Neri’s prose and Hanan’s music guide the film, giving voice to the pain of a family’s long struggle with mental illness.

ONE STREET IN SILWAN a film by Bissan Tibi
Producer: Anna Somershaf
The film had a World premiere at the Jerusalem Film Festival 2025

Silwan is a Palestinian village located in East Jerusalem, located just south of the Old City walls.” One Street in Silwan” is a documentary film that focuses on Batan al-Hawa street, which overlooks the Temple Mount and serves as a microcosm of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The film explores the lives of both Israeli settlers and Palestinian families who live on the same street, often in houses right next to each other. On one side of the street, live Israeli settlers in a house once belonging to an evicted Palestinian family. On the other side of the street, more than 750 Palestinian residents face potential eviction from their houses.
The film highlights the difficult realities faced by Palestinian families who are facing eviction to make way for more Israeli settlements. It is told through the perspectives of both children and adults and is intended to shed light on the complex and chaotic lives of those living on the street.
