Frida
Dance film (2:40) April 2020, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Frida, my 92-year-old grandma, going through her daily choreography, opening up the windows.
The distribution of ‘Frida’ took place during the Covid-19 quarantine. Therefore, the film unwittingly resonates with the condition of elderly people who had to stay at home alone. This film is dedicated to Tamar Amitai and Frida Kronkop, my two much-beloved grandmothers whom I admire.
