CACTI

3 women, 1 boy, 1 child of any gender

 

How far can you run in 15 seconds? If you lived in the Israeli towns that are close to the border with Gaza, your life would depend on it. Cacti tells the story of an Israeli middle school biology teacher who attempts to decide between her past, her family, and all that is familiar, to her calling and feeling of safety in the world.

PRIVATE MOMENTS

4 women, 1 man, 3 actors who move of any gender

 

At 18, Mika secretly writes poetry, fears roaches, and falls in love for the first time. She's also given an M-16 and told she's now in charge of guarding a military base. Private Moments is a coming-of-age story that strives to break misconceptions of what it's like to be a female IDF soldier. (Spoiler: Not everyone is a Gal Gadot-esque Wonder Woman.)
