Summershade

Director: Shira Haimovici
Producer: Yuli Shiloach
Director of Photography: Tamás Méder

Summershade is a coming of age film telling the story of Gal. She is a 13 year old redhead mischievous girl who is one day, while visiting her favourite childhood spot- the pond nearby her summer house, is being harassed by a group of boys who take over the place. ‘Summer Shade’ isn’t just a coming of age film, fragments of the story are based on actual events that have been and still take place in modern Israel. It is a film about female discrimination, religious coercion and sexism, that uses the pond as a microcosm of the Israeli society.
