Tochka
Tochka depicts a journey of an anonymous group through a rough land. Encountering difficulty when they arrive at a shallow ravine, they mutely decide to build a rickety wooden bridge so they can move over to the other side. Utilizing low-tech, handmade machinery and a cumbersome logic, the film asks questions about collective ideology and the process of making art as a community.
All the participants in this short film are Kibbutz members from the Jordan Valley of Israel. Over a week we constructed a manual crane and a weighty wooden bridge in a faraway part of the country requiring great physical, mental and artistic effort.
