Thank You, Forever.

This film is a ‘thank you’ to all the gifts that people are giving to each other – the mere gift of Life. Every person you meet brings something to you, and when we look back we can then observe our memories as if they were still images, and then fully appreciate what we have received. For that reason I chose to create a 3D Photo-montage effect in this film, showing...

Confessions of an Angel

An angel was asked to reveal the meanings behind his desire to help humanity. The Angel’s reply: Do you know who you are? I wonder who am I now? What is it that makes me breathe, that makes me create? Who we are? Where are we going to? What is it that we are doing here? Ah… Planet Earth… I want to bring the power of God, the power of creativity into this Earth. Into...

Dreams of Being Alive

Do you ever dream of being Alive?.. Where do dreams end and where does life begin?… This short film captures the threshold between what we can know about ourselves and what we can feel about ourselves… The sense of being larger than life; of being larger than our physical frame is brought forth through a short poem written by artists Natalie and Gil Dekel in one of those moments...

Following the teachings of the great poets Rumi and William Blake, I observe reality around and inside, and put feelings...

Don’t Worry God, We Still Love You.

I have heard the breathing of the birds in the silence of my heartbeat. And the branches of my tree, weaving words for my mouth. So my soul could, once again, praise this glorious moment we call ‘Life’. Sometimes I have memories in seconds, when the sun sets in my heart and the bees sing my thoughts into honey. For centuries I search for the soul of the One, but now I know we are...

Oars of Faith

We have seen deep into your eyes, where the flowers of joy are whispering your name. Speak up your heart, for the love within you is vaster than your mind. Do not swim in seas of despair, come now, let us help you sail the boat of hope… You already hold the oars of faith, those that bring you closer to us… Gil Dekel. Sunday, 5 Sep...
