The Creative Works Are Meditations On The Life And Perceptions Of The Children Of Israel
LOS ANGELES, CA / ACCESSWIRE / April 18, 2016 / To be a child again - Israel, is proud to announce its official launch. The project, which is part video documentary and part book, will explore the lives of children living in Israel, and capture their dreams, perceptions and struggles through the mediums of film and photography.
The idea for the project came from father son team Moy and Gabriel Volcovich. After creating the successful "To be a child again - Mexico," which was a seven years long journey resulting in three successful books and two exhibits in Mexico City, the next natural choice was Israel; which makes up the other half of the families lineage.
"Israel is a country that I know very well and that represents a significant enclave in social, political and religious spheres," says Moy. "It is a country with enormous differences facing great challenges. Therefore, it lends itself to a global scale from which we can explore."
The premise behind the project is to collect images and video interviews of the children of Israel, whether they are Jews, Muslims, Arabs, or Catholics. Once the information is complied, it will then be turned into a book with 140 to 160 photographs of the children and their corresponding interview responses.
The documentary, which makes up the second part of the project, will be a more individual approach where the lives of seven children selected from different backgrounds and demographics will be edited into a 60 to 70-minute film.
"This candid view casts an intimate and personal light on its youth - what they see, how they think, what they learn, and the astonishing impact their thoughts and lives have on their country and the world they are fast inheriting," says the website.
In order to offset some of the costs associated with producing a project of this magnitude, the Volcoviches have taken their project to the crowd funding platform, Kickstarter.
Substantial donations have already been made, but while crowd funding dictates that reaching the goal is the only way to receive the money, Moy and Gabriel are encouraging more backers to take part in their illuminativeproject.
