A Few Notes on the Situation, 2025 | Dir. Eran Kolirin | Israel | Hebrew | 79 minutes
Following the screening, a conversation will take place with director Eran Kolirin.
A young man finds himself caught up in a strange ritual in which the world is set in motion; a group of soldiers plan to make a film for a streaming service; a team of men pushing a car in an attempt to start it becomes embroiled in a leadership crisis; the life of a young woman changes unexpectedly following an encounter with representatives of the municipal authority; a young couple transports snow for a film that gradually drifts away from them; and a Hasidic legend poses the question, “What is man?”
A Few Notes on the Situation is a feature film composed of six absurdist tales that, each from a different angle, shed light on the existential, human, and social condition of the here and now.
The film premiered at the Locarno Film Festival and won the Jury Prize at the Haifa Film Festival.
