Keywords

For more than 20 years, the journalist Gideon Levy brought horror stories from the occupied territories to Israeli readers. A play writer reads his article and writes a play, a theater director adapts it to the stage, actors play in it to the audience, which are now able to encounter on stage the not so distant horrible reality. A mediated encounter. And now, accessible for you, a film... 'Keywords' exists in times where info is a product. It casts doubt on the capability of Media and Arts to fulfill the role they once filled: actual contact between people.

Directed by Guy Davidi, Keywords leans on a strong ensemble — Gideon Levy — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.

The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about documentary titles of 2010.
