Homeless (2008)

Overview

Dotan Nave's first film explores the unique experience of growing up in the children’s house in the kibbutz. A film about an initiated social encounter between the film's creator and the members of the group with whom he grew up in kibbutz Lehavot Haviva. The initial aim of this encounter was to try and understand why none of them want to go back and live in the kibbutz today. The movie presents visual images of kibbutz life today, archival material taken from childhood and interviews with members of the group and their parents. All of these turn this one time encounter into a journey following the personal childhood story of the movie's creator. It was screened on Yes Docu, in cinematheques, and at international festivals.
