New Israeli Documentry film: Saba Siberia (Melting Siberia)

 

Marina was born 57 years ago in the former Soviet Union. She says she lacks nothing. She has a husband, nice children, friends… But it soon becomes clear that something strikes a discord in her seemingly harmonious life. Marina has never met her father.

Marina was still in her mother's womb when her father, an officer and "hero" in the Red Army, left home. He disappeared somewhere in the Siberian steppes. The love of Marina's mother for the man who deserted her never ceased. She tried many times to find him and introduce him to his daughter but never succeeded.

At the start of the film, its director, Ido (who is the son of Marina and bears a close resemblance to his grandfather), decides to locate his lost relative and arrange to have him meet his daughter for the first time.

As Ido draws closer to finding his grandfather, Marina's repressed emotions about him rise to the surface - her anger and pain, blaming her missing father and at the same time yearning for him.

The distance between Siberia and Israel is instantly shortened by one telephone call - a dramatic interchange that sets an inevitable course of events into motion.

The film, immersed in the overpowering drama of Russian culture, traces a painful journey that closes a circle, answers a crying need that never diminished over time. At the end of the journey, nothing will be as it was before.

The scenery of the film is well integrated with the sound track that includes a number of popular Russian songs, some of which were composed by MMG administered authors. The songs are: "Little Light Comes through the Window" and "Bezit Reka" by the composer Edward Kolmonovsky, "Perekrestok" by Nikita Bogoslovsky and" V Trave sidel kuznechik" by Vladimir Shainsky.

Ido Har graduated from the "Sam "Spigel Film University" and this is his first full length
movie. Melting Siberia was first shown last summer at the Jerusalem Film Festival and was highly praised by the critics. The film is now on in "Lev" Cinema in Tel Aviv in Israel.

Garden State goes on DVD

 

Andrew Largeman shuffled through life in a lithium-induced coma until his mother's death inspired a vacation from the pills to see what might happen. A moderately successful TV actor living in Los Angeles, "Large" hasn't been home to the Garden State in nine years. But even with 3,000 miles between them, he's been unable to escape his domineering father Gideon and the silencing effect he's had on his son from afar. Stunned to find himself in his hometown after such a long absence, Large finds old acquaintances around every corner living quite unique lives as gravediggers, fast food knights and the panderers of pyramid schemes. Meanwhile, at home, he does his best to avoid a long-simmering but inevitable confrontation with his father. By a twist of fate, Large meets Sam, a girl who is everything he isn't. A blast of color, hope and quirks, Sam becomes a sidekick who refuses to ride in his sidecar. Her warmth and fearlessness give Large the courage to open his heart to the joy and pain of the infinite abyss that is life.

Director: Zach Braff
Starring: Zach Braff, Natalie Portman, Ian Holm,
