THAT ORCHESTRA WITH THE BROKEN INSTRUMENTS
Documentary film | 79 minutes | 2021
A broken string, fractured echo chamber, rusting valves.
An orchestra of 100 Israelis and Palestinians, professional and amateur, young and old, prepares, against all odds, for a one-time-only concert in Jerusalem. Their instruments are broken.
A poetic, engaging take on broken and whole presents Jerusalem characters and an attempt to create harmony in a discordant city.
