Film Guides
Here you will find the various film guides we have developed for Israeli films and TV programs that are available on DVD and/or netflix, with English subtitles.
Waltz with Bashir Film Guide
Waltz with Bashir is an astonishing work of art that sets fire to the deep human questions emerging from contemporary Israel. In our desire to encourage the Jewish world to engage with Israel through support combined with critique – what we call ‘hugging and wrestling’ – we cannot recommend this movie highly enough. Go see it! And if you’ve already seen it, go see it again!
However beyond experiencing the film, we would like to encourage you to talk and continue to think about it…
To this end we have developed the Makom Film Guide for Waltz with Bashir.
Eyes Wide Open Film Guide
This documentary film created by Paula Weiman-Kelman follows American Jews visiting Israel. The production approached Makom to write a guide. We focused on specific moments, certain people, particular comments, and draw questions from them.
The guide is available in full, and also as placemats to put on tables in the local cafe after the screening, to allow for guided yet freely-managed conversations.
