She produced and researched for the book/television series The Melting Pot Cuisine about 12 Israeli families from different ethnic origins, documenting their cuisine. Last year she wrote, directed and produced the documentary Channels of Rage, about the rappers Subliminal and Tamer Nafer, which took the BEST DOCUMENTARY AWARD at the Jerusalem International Film Festival, 2003. <http://www.channels.anatfilms.com/info>www.channels.anatfilms.com/info SYNOPSIS: Channels of rage Subliminal is described in the local rap scene as the re-inventor of Hebrew language. He presents himself as the first proud Zionist rapper. Similarly, Tamer (TN) an Arab rapper from Lod who became a cultural icon for Israeli Arab youth, is no less proud of his Palestinian identity. Just like Siamese twins, Subliminal and Tamer are the two inseparable parts of the same unsolved conflict, which defines our lives. A patriotic Zionist rapper and a nationalist Arab rapper use the power of words and music to state as loud as they can what politicians in Israel cant seem to put into words. Will the increasing national gap prevent the two from being able to communicate with each other through their international language of music? Channels of Rage was shot over 3 years, following both Subliminal and Tamer, alone, and together. This is a journey documenting the parallel-meeting-evading, back and forth story of two poets of wrath in a violent and hopeless time.
