The Hebrews Project is an innovative lab for creating biographical documentaries about prominent Jewish and Israeli writers. The award winning project invites major directors to create films that would weave biographical narratives, visualizing cinematically the written word, employing original scores and personal interpretations – thus creating unique films and mixing poetry and documentary, literature and filmmaking.
The incredible story of Avraham Sutskever, the greatest Yiddish poet, who saved manuscripts from the Nazis, survived WWII due to Stalin’s special rescue plane, testified in the Nuremberg Trials, and died anonymously in Tel Aviv.
He is considered one of the greatest Hebrew writers, though he only spent a year in the country. Who was David Vogel? The man who left behind a corpus of wonderful Hebrew novels, novellas, and poems that depicted sexuality and desire like no one before him.
In a tiny apartment in Jerusalem, surrounded by dolls and cats, Miriam Yalan-Shteklis wrote her beloved children’s poems. Director Reuven Brodsky uses miniatures created specifically for the film and interviews with her acquaintances to tell the story of the most loved Israeli children writer.
Very few details are known about Rabbi Shalom Shabazi, but 400 years after his death, Shabazi is as popular as ever and is considered one of the greatest Yemenite poets.
The great outsider poet Avot Yeshoron was the first to write about the Naqba, mixing Hebrew, Arabic and Yiddish. Haunted for most of his life, he gained great respect in his final years, becoming a hero of a generation.
