What inspired you to make this film?
Nostalgia; Old diaries and letters I wrote as a child and photos of my older sister and me: On holidays, at school, on field trips with the youth movement, riding our bicycles in the moshav, sitting in the bomb shelter during the gulf war, celebrating our Bat-Mitzvahs, etc.
What was your greatest challenge during the filmmaking process?
There was a lot of hesitating going on, regarding how exactly to put the pieces together, especially when it came to the visual and the voice-over. I wanted to create a balance in which the text enhanced the impact of the visual without explaining or describing it one-to-one.
Any thoughts you'd like to share about screening this film in a Jewish context?
The first thing I knew about the film I was going to make, is that it was going to be very Israeli, with emphasis on Israeli characteristics and a strong Israeli feel. Most Jews in the world live outside of Israel and I feel that this is an opportunity to create a sense of identification and bonding between Jews in Israel and Jews all over the world.
What film/media has inspired you lately?
La Meglio Giovent (The Best of Youth) by Marco Tullio Giordana, 2003. This film creates a unique feeling of empathy towards characters in a different place, in different times, speaking in a different language, living entirely different lives. For 6 whole hours I forgot all about what was going on in my own life and felt I was going through the same experiences they were.
What do you do when you're not filmmaking?
Sewing, cooking soups and pastas and writing stories.
Lastly, gefilte fish: delicious, or disgusting?
The fish is ok, the jelly is not. The carrot slices don't really make up for it. Overall: disgusting. :-(
Lilach Sarid was born in Israel in 1983. She graduated from the animation department of Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in
