Despite the corona, the Israeli docu-industry continued to thrive this year, with over a hundred films and series produced and with quite a few artistic and human achievements.

And so, two weeks after the documentary competition of the Jerusalem Festival, which was high quality and diverse this year, ended this evening (Thursday) the awards ceremony of the documentary film.

The best full-length docu-award was picked up by Raanan Alexandrovich's "Mirror," produced by Liran Atzmor, which has been screened at a variety of international festivals and on HOT 8. The film deals with the conflict and its representation, and the way documentary cinema can (or can not) influence .

"To Enlighten Yossi", a film by Kobi Farage and Maurice Ben Muir that was a cinematic hit, garnered awards in the original music category, for the work of Yonatan Bar Giora, and the editing - for the work of Ben Muir and Shauli Melamed, who also won the short docu-prize for "Mini Divi".

Another film that starred in the ceremony: "Underground Ballet" by veteran Lena Chaplin, which won the award for a film lasting up to sixty minutes, and the soundtrack design award.

The Lifetime Achievement Award was given to Legal Burstein, a filmmaker and film teacher who many artists have grown up on here.

"We are close to ten months in this new world, ten months in which the cinema and culture halls in general are closed and desolate," said the forum's chairman, Hagit Ben-Yaakov. "Ten months in which a failed government engaged in political survival fails to help and support the sector A whole who sits at home without a livelihood and fails to offer relevant and effective solutions to revive the dying cultural world.

The rift between the field, between the producers of the culture, and the firm that trusts it, is greater than ever.

The feeling is that there is no one who is fighting for us and there is no one who is fighting for us and the end is far from showing.

"Our Minister of Culture, who is truly a pleasant and cultured man, does not go out to fight for us and for all the so many who have been forgotten in all this chaos."
