Radio Propaganda
The film brings for the first time the story of the Israeli radio station Beit Shidir. With the establishment of the State of Israel and the immigration of Jews from Arab countries, the radio station was an active site for producing intelligence and political warfare against Arab countries in the 1940s, 1950s, and 1960s. From the outside, it was a radio station that broadcast news and songs in Arabic, whereas in practice, the broadcasts were used by the administration for propaganda, psychological warfare, changing public opinion in Arab countries, and activating agents through codes implanted within the broadcasts. Soon the broadcasts became the most terrifying threat that agitated the rulers of the Arab world, and the broadcasters in it were named by the competing radio stations ‘The Israel Broadcasting Corporation’s Propaganda Orchestra’.

Nine Stanzas on the Individual as a Collective Organism
Nine Stanzas on the Individual as a Collective Organism is an avant-garde documentary inspired by the work of Chantal Akerman which aims to explore the monotony of the obligatory daily activities people engage in, as well as the contrast between the personal experiences individuals go though in the moment and the way in which, when viewed from an outside perspective, those same unique individuals are subsumed into a larger, indistinct mass stripped of any and all identity other than that of a single part of a larger student body; hundreds of stray ligaments desperately fighting for a distinct presence in an environment of abject conformity.

The Manson Murders
The 1960s were a period when long held values and norms of behaviour seemed to break down, particularly among the young. Hippies advocated nonviolence and love, a popular phrase being "Make love, not war," for which they were sometimes called "flower children." They promoted openness and tolerance as alternatives to the restrictions and regimentation they saw in middle-class society. The movement seemed to be taking the minds of the new generation by storm... That was until one group of hippies, The Manson Family, led by Charles Manson, committed a set of crimes that terrified the world and brought the flower power movement to a halt. Charles Milles Manson was an American criminal and musician who led the Manson Family, a cult based in California. Some of the members committed a series of nine murders at four locations in July and August 1969, including the brutal murder of 8 month pregnant, actress and model Sharon Tate, wife of Roman Polanski.

Siberia. Firewood for Mobilized Men
Siberia stands as Russia's most abundant macroregion in terms of natural resources, yet paradoxically, it grapples with significant disadvantages. Boasting 88% of the nation's natural gas reserves, only 16.8% of households have access to this vital resource—lower than anywhere else in the country. Historically, the state has extracted resources from local residents, and recently, this trend has escalated to include the relocation of residents themselves, sending them to Ukraine. As a compensation for fathers, husbands, and sons being sent to the front lines, their families receive firewood to endure the harsh winter of 2022-2023 without freezing.
