From his first film depicting his boyhood life in the Canary Islands, Richard “Ricky” Leacock has been obsessed with capturing on film the feeling of “being there.” This curiosity led him to technological innovations and breakthrough films that fueled the emerging “direct cinema” movement. In 1948, he shot Louisiana Story with Robert and Frances Flaherty and he has worked with other cinéma vérité pioneers like Robert Drew and D. A. Pennebaker on films like Primary, Happy Mother’s Day, and Monterey Pop.Read More »

Clara, a Polish born Jew, living in Tel Aviv of the 1970’s, has her ideas about how people should behave, and runs everybody’s life accordingly: her husband, her sisters, their husbands, their children, her brother who lives in London (probably because it was the only way to get away from her…). Whenever something “improper” does happen, Clara’s way of handling it is simply to shove it under the carpet and ignore it completely, as if it never happened. 3 basic rules, are, of course: 1. Never marry some one “under” your class (Or the class you think you are). 2. Never become pregnant out of wedlock and 3. No Abortions. As one may expect, everything crumbles when her niece gives her no option, but to break at least one of those rules.Read More »
