I have been studying documentary film at the Steve Tisch School of Film and Television in Tel Aviv since 2023. In my film work, I combine personal stories with social issues—always searching for images that touch and questions that linger.

Pioneer Camp: Equality and Punishment

An experimental short documentary film in black and white that explores the personal experience of a Catholic girl in the GDR.


Through a combination of narrative voice, abstract images and archive material, the film reconstructs the emotional imprint of a childhood in which adaptation was never enough.


In pioneer camps and classrooms where equality was preached, the child instead experiences exclusion and punishment – without understanding why. Only many years later does she realize that it was not her behavior, but her faith that made her a target.

The film recounts this experience in a poetic, fragmented form and takes a critical look at the contradiction between the socialist ideal of equality and the reality of exclusion.

The Rabbi's Ex

A documentary film in progress

How do you survive when everything is taken from you—even your children? After fleeing a Hasidic community in Montreal, Tanya struggles to rebuild her life. She survives sexual violence, kidnapping, and domestic abuse—and ultimately loses custody of her children to her ex-husband, a rabbi from the USA. The film follows Tanya on a profound journey: from pain and powerlessness to self-determination and healing. Between court cases, memories, and road trips, she searches for a home—geographically and internally. Today, she works as a psychiatric nurse, openly living her sexual freedom while wrestling with the realities of motherhood, guilt, and desire.
