The Dybbuk. A Tale of Wandering Souls is a 2015 documentary film by Polish filmmaker and director Krzysztof Kopczyński. The film tells the story of a conflict between orthodox Jews and Ukrainian far-right activists in Uman, a city in Ukraine, just before Euromaidan protests.

Every year 30,000 Hasidim journey to Uman to celebrate the Jewish New Year at the gravesite of their holy leader Rebbe Nachman. Meanwhile, a Ukrainian far-right group erects a cross at the site of Hasidic prayers and builds a monument to Cossacks who slaughtered thousands of Jews and Poles in 1768 during a national rebellion.

The film opened the 55th Krakow Film Festival, where it received the Silver Hobby-Horse for the Director of the Best Documentary Film. The prize was awarded "for courage and non-conformity in showing an extremely complicated and universal problem of reciprocal intolerance when facing the dangers of the contemporary world." On 6th Odessa International Film Festival the film received FIPRESCI prize for a feature-length film.

Jordana Horn in The Jewish Daily Forward states that: Budrus [is] a documentary by Julia Bacha that examines one West Bank town’s reaction to Israel’s construction of the security barrier. The town, with a population of 1,500, was set to be divided and encircled by the barrier, losing 300 acres of land and 3,000 olive trees. These trees were not only critical for economic survival but also sacred to the town’s intergenerational history. The film tells the story of Ayed Morrar, a Palestinian whose work for Fatah had led to five detentions in Israeli jails, but whose momentous strategic decision that the barrier would be best opposed by nonviolent resistance had far-reaching ramifications.

Dans le cadre de ses travaux sur Shoah, Claude Lanzmann s'est longuement entretenu avec le rabbin Benjamin Murmelstein, au sujet de son rôle ambivalent comme haut fonctionnaire de la communauté juive de Vienne, contrôlée par Adolf Eichmann pendant la période nazie, et comme un « doyen juif » dans le camp de concentration de Terezín. En se filmant au présent sur les lieux évoqués dans les images de 1975, Lanzmann introduit une interrogation critique sur les moyens d'évoquer le passé au cinéma.

The film focuses on two young rap artists, Subliminal, an Israeli Jew, and Tamer Nafar, a Palestinian citizen of Israel, and focuses on their music, friendship, and their politicization as public figures. The film traces the relationship between Tamer and Subliminal, as the events of the Second Intifada unfold, and lets the viewer draw conclusions from the souring relations between the two as an individual representation of the polarization process which took place during these years of bloody conflict. In this aspect, the film succeeds in delivering the atmosphere of the loss of hopes for peace after the failure of the Camp David summit between Ehud Barak and Yasser Arafat and the renewed intensity of the conflict since. The film was featured in the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival.
