Bimboim's Trip TO the Western Wall

"Bimboim's trip to the Western Wall" is a nine minute mixed-media animation short with original score by Tomer Tzur and Lee Free.

It was originally presented at the Jewish Community Center in New York City as a silent film accompanied by Susan Watts and a live Klezmer orchestra.

The short was made in loving memory of the Israeli Bedouins who died atthe tunnel bombing at the Philadelphi Corridor in December 2004.

Re-presenting a personal journey through Israel, Mor combines video-footage with animated scenarios inspired by a collection of newspaper headlines.

"Bimboim" pays homage to the Fleischer Brothers' cartoons of the 1920's by adapting the rhythm and surrealism of their early shorts.

Bimboim's Trip to the Western Wall has screened in New York, Berlin, Brussels and Tel Aviv.
