WARSAW JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL / KAMERA DAWIDA ONLINE
טּאּצּיּ (TOUCH)
Watchable. Barely. It's a colourful 25-minute film about an Internet troll making friends and finding a potential boyfriend in her weird ways. As unpleasant as real life social media trolls. Engaging due to a fast pace and sharp nasty responses she gives online. Sad to see it's a worldwide phenomenon.
TREE #3
Recommended. An American teacher who fails to see the wood for the trees and foreign kids struggling for their talent to be recognized. The first scene endears you to the gifted boy, then you suffer the discrimination with him till the wonderful, moving finale turns the tables. A 20-minute film but filled with events. And wonderfully acted. Will amaze all underdogs out there.
HANNA COHEN'S HOLY COMMUNION
Watchable. Another smart short film about expat children's dreams, this one about a cultural-religious clash. Very pleasant, with few but vivid characters. But little depth beyond the envy of other people's celebrations and coming to terms with one's own culture.
