Dir.: Roee Rosen | Israel 2016 | 23 minutes | Russian, Hebrew | Hebrew subtitles

The Dust Channel is a cultural exquisite corpse: an operetta with a libretto in Russian about a British home appliance, a Dyson DC07 Vacuum Cleaner, set in an Israeli reality of private perversion and socio-political phobias. While each of these layers offers its own particular resonances and substrata, they share in common the emergence of communal and private forms of xenophobia from within the private sphere of leisure and pleasure, abundance and perversions.

Dir.: Quentin Dupieux | France 2023 | 77 minutes | French | English, Hebrew subtitles

A young journalist (the wonderful Anaïs Demoustier) finally manages to land an interview with her hero – none other than Salvador Dalí himself. The great artist refuses to be interviewed unless it's in front of a film crew, as he believes befits someone of his stature, and storms off in anger. The frustrated journalist decides to turn the interview into a documentary that will please the master, but things get complicated when Dalí descends into a psychedelic frenzy and a series of existential crises. Quentin Dupieux's cinema is one-of-a-kind – bursting with inventions, imagery, and ideas, yet his films remain accessible, funny, and entertaining. Here, full of reflections and clever twists, he delivers a brilliant homage to Salvador Dalí’s creativity. This is a witty and wild film that you won’t want to miss.
