Wall, Crevice, Tear
Written and Directed
by: Emanuel Chon Israel 10min
The enormous, pale gold, hewn stones of Jerusalem's Western Wall, a remnant of the outer courtyard of the Jewish Temple built by King Herod, have been a focus of prayer and meditation for hundreds of years. Because it is a holy site, the Wall is divided into two sections, one for men and one for women. In this documentary, student director Tehila Raanan films the women's section over a year through all seasons capturing with poignant and experimental camerawork the intimacy, pain, courage and exposure that is inherent to prayer, and to all reaching out beyond self.
