DOCUMENTRY FILMS |

A man who has dedicated his life for Nature, a fur maker responsible for starting the gay night-life in Israel, a man desperately looking for a heart donor for his father, and a group of women fighting for equal rights. These are the subjects of some new documentary films that used the MMG library music.
 |
Run Against Time
The film involves the journey of director Tzvika Volach, and his father, who undergoes a heart transplant operation. The story unfolds as the Volach family waits for a donor, which especially in Israel is difficult for obvious religious and political reasons. Eventually, a donor is found in Cypress. The film follows the process of organ donation between the two countries in a very personal manner, and reveals the deep emotional relationship that develops among the two families.
The soundtrack for the film was created using MMG's library music.

Women of the Wall
For more than 14 years, a group of Jewish women are fighting for the right to pray next to the Western Wall – what remains of the Temple of Jerusalem, and the most sacred place for Jews. A woman's prayer, which includes reading in a Torah book and wrapping with a prayer shawl, is a right in the Jewish religion reserved only for men. Beit Berl College created a documentary film that follows their struggle, and used many tracks from KPM for the soundtrack.

Stephan Braun For Eliezer Rat, his love for Stephan Braun was a love story bigger then life; for Braun's family it was a story of cynical exploitation.
The movie, running between two extremes, brings the colorful story of Braun's life. Braun, an innovative fur-maker, was the man who founded the homosexual night-life in Tel-Aviv. Rat, the devoted tailor in Braun's business, was Braun's partner for 40 years.
The movie was written by Nir Shenhav, directed by Itamar ElKalay, and produced by Lama Productions. Music from MMG's libraries was also used in addition to the original soundtrack.
