Lullaby to My Father is a 2012 documentary film directed by Amos Gitai that premiered at the Venice Film Festival.

The film relates the story of Gitai's father, Munio Weinraub (1909-1970), an eminent Israeli architect. Weinraub was a student at the Bauhaus design and architecture school in the city of Dessau when Hitler closed the school in 1933. In May 1933, Weinraub was accused of "treason against the German people", sent to prison and later expelled from Germany. The film traces Munio's route from Poland to Germany, from Switzerland to Palestine.

Gitai has written that his film "is a voyage searching for the relationships between a father and his son, architecture and movies, the history of a journey and intimate memories. Like in my movie Carmel, based on my mother, Efratia's, letters, there is no chronological sequence of events. It is not a reconstituted biography, but a mosaic. The story comes together piece by piece, as a poetical association of pictures, faces, voyages, real architecture and snippets of fiction.

Synopsis

Le film entrelace événements historiques et souvenirs intimes. J’observe la façon dont l’architecture représente les transformations de la société et ceux qui donnent forme à cette architecture. Nous suivons le parcours de Munio, mon père, né en 1909 en Silésie, en Pologne, fils d’un métayer d’un junker prussien. A l’âge de 18 ans, Munio part à Berlin et à Dessau pour aller rencontrer Walter Gropius, Kandinsky et Paul Klee au Bauhaus. En 1933, le Bauhaus est fermé par les nazis, qui accusent Munio de trahison envers le peuple allemand. Munio est emprisonné, puis expulsé à Bâle. Il part pour la Palestine. A son arrivée à Haïfa, il entame une carrière d’architecte et il adapte les principes européens modernistes au Moyen Orient.

Kadosh is a bleak drama about the narrow Israeli secular perspective on the status of women in Haredi society. In the opening scene, Meir (Yoram Hattab), a caricature of a young Talmudic scholar, thanks God in his morning prayers for not being born a woman. At first, the marriage of Meir and his wife, Rivka (Yael Abecassis), appears tender and idyllic, but as the day progresses it becomes clear that Meir is obsessed with the fact that he is childless after ten years of marriage. Rivka's younger sister, Malka, marries Yosef in a match arranged by their parents, but loves Yaakov, a rock singer, who has abandoned the religious community.
