PALMARES / FESTIVAL DU FILM MERVEILLEUX 2014
Strange Fruit by Noy Hili & Aresay Shimi
2013 - ISRAEL - 7'39 - Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design
The peaceful daily routine of a father and son is interrupted by an encounter with an unknown foreign boy. "Strange Fruit" shows how easily we acquire fear and hatred of foreigners and how easily we ourselves can become "foreigners". The story deals with the issue of racism that results from our personal awareness and the education we receive from our families and the environment in which we live. Do we really have our own belief system, or is what we believe dictated to us?
