- This optimistic and profoundly moving documentary invites us to follow the journey of the unique relationships that develop between the 'imperfect' farm animals rejected from the food industry rehabilitated at Freedom Farm Sanctuary in Israel, and their "imperfect" human volunteers marginalized by society, who deeply relate to them, and go above and beyond to care for them. With sensitivity, humor, and love, this documentary reminds us of the real meaning of the word compassion, and shows us where the path to healing ourselves and the world begins.
- A documentary thriller. When Taliya was young, she never knew for sure whether her uncle was a KGB agent in disguise or a true member of the family.

Guided by a private investigator, she travels from Israel to the Ukraine and back in a desperate quest to find proof of her father's story.

- The TV educational article 'Muhamed and Anna in Plain Sight' brings the remarkable story of Dr. Muhamed Helmy, an Egyptian doctor who lived in Germany and was recognized in Israel as the first and only Arab 'Righteous among the Nations'. Ronen Steinke, a journalist from Munich, reveals Dr. Helmy's incredible story: In 1920, Helmy traveled from Egypt to Germany to study medicine. He was a humanist, a proud man who did not hesitate to freely state what he thought about the Nazi regime. He lived in central Berlin and practiced medicine. During this time, using extraordinary tricks and deceptions, he saved a Jewish girl named Anna Boros, at great risk to his own life. The movie was shot in the authentic Berlin locations during winter of 2017, when the frozen streets are mostly empty and echo the complex history of this city. The movie incorporates rare photographs and archive film clips shot in Berlin during the 1930's and 1940's.
- "If I saw someone else screaming like my mother, I would be sure that person was mentally disturbed, if it wasn't 100% authentic..." This is what Israel Meir says about his mother, Rabbanit Lea Kook, whose discourse, according to him, stems from absolutely authentic belief. The ultra orthodox community in general & its women in particular are extremely wary of media exposure. The film therefore provides a rare look into the lives of ultra orthodox women, their activities & their grasp of their identities. Tikkun portrays the phenomenon of the Rabbanit (the wife of a Rabbi) of Tiberius, Leah Kook, an orthodox leader followed by many Israeli women. This film is a vivid picture of the routines and customs of life in an ultra-orthodox household and introduces a very charismatic,yet highly controversial main character. Rabbanit Kook, a staunch believer in a prophecy the world refuses to hear, such an extrovert enthusiast that the filmmaker documented her intensively for two entire years. As the maker of the film disguised herself and became one of the members of the house she could explore the backyard of the scene. The surprising cooperation demonstrated by the rabbanit in making this film, and her agreement to such intimate exposure of her physical & spiritual world for two years were a form of "Tikkun" for her. By watching the Rabanit from almost no distance at all, one could reach a conclusion to the controversial attitude of the Israeli society towards Lea Kook: is she genuine or a fraud?
- The story of Taliya's quest for finding love in the estranged world of Internet dating, based on a mouse, a keyboard and Photoshop tricks. In this comic-tragic voyage with the guidance of her flat-mate (extravagantly & cynically gay), she wanders from hope to humiliation.She drinks 45 cups of coffee (mostly soy latte) and gets involved with a few men & Husky puppy. This movie portrays the aspects that are well known to every single who plays the romantic internet game in order to snatch the ultimate prize: True Love. The movie contains a feminist message and uses an unusual combination of methods such as documentation, poetry and acting; as may be expected of a film that describes the modern, yet chaotic, world of Internet dating.
