A documentary filmmaker goes out to document August, since he believes that this month constitutes a metaphor of all that is hateful in the State of Israel. Yet, while making the film he himself becomes August. —IMDb

Director

Avi Mograbi

Avi Mograbi (Hebrew: אבי מוגרבי‎; born 1956) is an Israeli documentary filmmaker. His films are often experimental in form and are highly critical of Israel’s treatment of the Palestinian people. Mograbi studied philosophy at Tel Aviv University from 1979 to 1982, and art at Ramat Hasharon Art School. His film Avenge But One of My Two Eyes was screened out of competition at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival. —Wikipedia
