Z 32
Avi Mograbi
2008 - 81 min - 35 mm - Couleur - France, Israël

An Israeli ex-soldier who participated in a revenge operation where two Palestinian policemen were murdered seeks forgiveness for what he has done. His girlfriend does not think it is that simple, she raises issues he is yet not ready to address. The soldier willingly testifies in front of the camera as long as his identity is not exposed. While the filmmaker keeps looking for the proper solution for concealing the soldier's identity he questions his own political and artistic conduct.
"Z 32" deals with the unbearable gap between a young person's disturbing testimony of his own experience as an elite soldier in the Israeli army and the artistic representation of the very same testimony.
