Dir: Uri Barbash
A Tribute to Uri Barbash in collaboration with the podcast “Once Upon a Time in Israel”
Two groundbreaking documentaries created by Uri Barbash for Israeli Television in the 1970s.
In his film on Ahuva Ozeri, Barbash follows the singer-songwriter shortly after the release of her debut album, Where Is the Soldier, while opening a window onto Kerem HaTeimanim, the Tel Aviv neighborhood from which she emerged. Ozeri had already built a devoted following, primarily among Mizrahi music audiences, yet remained largely absent from Israel’s state media. By bringing Ozeri, her family and her fans to national television, Barbash also captured a cultural world rarely seen on screen at the time. The film is considered the first cinematic work to explore the phenomenon of Mizrahi music in Israel in depth.
In Gan Eden, Barbash turns his camera toward the first incarnation of the rock band Gan Eden, rehearsing in a makeshift shack in Netanya’s Diur LaOleh neighborhood. The hard rock and psychedelic rock they play, still mostly cover versions, offer an escape from dead-end jobs, drugs and crime. The film captures the band in intimate moments of music-making, conversation and reflection, just before their breakthrough with original material in Hebrew.
Ahuva Ozeri: 40 min. Gan Eden: 50 min. Total: 90 min.
