Eden: A Cinephile, Tel Aviv Short by Mishar for Art students

The film depicts a day in the life of the British-governed Palestine of 1921. Eden Cinema is almost a novelty (built in 1914) in the city that will eventually become Tel-Aviv. This morning of 1921, the city mayor, Meir Dizingof, got a police ticket for swimming naked, but otherwise it seems a historic occasion for all residents.

None other than Winston Churchill (responsible for the British Colonies during that period) is expected to visit the Eden cinema.

Fritz Lang's Metropolis screens tonight, yet a boy eager to watch cannot find a place to sit.

The film has a variety of color hues and the elongated figures of Sylvain Chomet's films (let alone a vibrant, jazzy soundtrack), but is more relaxed and Mediterranean.

Ofer Kapota,  Hadar Sitruk, and Natali Chen  (Eden's directors) are students at  Minshar for Art, an art school and a lively cultural center in the heart of Tel-Aviv, specializing in Cinema, Animation, Photography, Theater, Visual Media, Visual Arts, and Writing.
