Shabat Shalom is my fourth short and it was filmed in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
The project was selected for shooting by my directing professors at the film university of Argentina (F.U.C.).

My idea was to develop a story that unraveled in a dinning room so I could solve the problems I had in the dinning roomscene in La fiesta del 35 (vimeo.com/1828636).

Being jewish, I felt the need to adress the topic of the Holocaust since my generation is the last one to be in direct contact with survivors. I wanted to explore the weight of the Heritage and the way in which it affected us.

It was record in DV with the DVX-100 PANASONIC.

    Very good lighting and editing.
    Also I liked the small family drama.
    Keeps you watching.
    the more important thing is, this is
    a good introduction to Jewish Culture
    and Psyche .
    We should never forget the lessons from
    Holocaust and all genocides or we will
    continue living them.

    Argentina is so far away from my home, thanks for bringing us intimate documentary of this small community forgotten in my part of the world.
    I heard there is a Armenian community in Argentina who suffered a genocide. Can you shoot another documentary on them next time. We would like to know the human suffering of forgotten genocides.
  • JORGEFRIED 1 year ago
    You welcome Adam, I will do my best.

    I have to add there was Guatemalan Genocide
    of Mayan Indian natives nobody knows and
    a genocide happening right now in Darfur
    nobody cares.
    This is a shame for our human civilization.

    Muy bien realizado. Tiene un gran cine look. En HD debe verse magnífico.
    La actuación y la ambientación me recuerda a alguna de las películas de Woody Allen, cuando la familia judía se sienta a la mesa.
    Felicidades por el exelente trabajo

    JCM_GDL,
    Muchas gracias, me alegra que te gustara y que el cortometraje haya logrado generar un ambiente, ese punto es muy importante para mi.
    Saludos.

    Funny, sad, bitter, daring - all rolled into one. You have portrayed very well how the weight of the past is not always appreciated by its younger inheritors. Good work.
  • JORGEFRIED 9 months ago
    Heather,
    Glad you take it in a right way, as I told before it's important to keep what happen alive, we are the last generation in real contact with survivors from the Holocaust so it's about us what's going to happen from now on.
    Best.

    Jorgefried,

    Thanks for inviting me to see your work; I really like this short film! I am an Indian and I am very much close to one Jewish family. I know them very closely. Recently three weeks ago I did their son’s “Bar Mitzvah" ceremony shooting, and I come to know how this ceremony actually happens! This was wonderful experience to me; I have seen it first time. Let me ask them if I can upload short part of it here, if they allow I will upload here.

    In India we have Jewish family in various part of country, they are indeed nice peoples!

    Thanks again.

    Kaushik,
    Thank you for your nice comment.
    It's amazing for me to share my work with people from all over the world, I will love to watch your friend Bar Mitzvah in India so please let me know if you upload that video.
    Also if you like to share any indian ceremony i would like to know because from where I am I don't have the opportunity to learn from your wonderful culture.
    Best and hope to keep in contact.

    Jorgefried,

    I am glad you like the video, and I would really appreciate if you let know your friends about this video.

    I love your country Argentina, so you born and grow there? Or juts you stay there?

    Recently Football legend Maradona was in Calcutta (India) and people are there become mad after seeing him! Infect Maradona was also amazed by greeting from Indian fans! He never knows that he is actually too much popular in this part of world!

    He told while he was leaving that he will come with good time again with his family!

    Coincido en el logro del ambiente, realmente bueno. Me llama la atención el look cálido conseguido en la cena en oposición al tono frío que muestran las escenas del hijo frente al espejo. El sonido es impresionante, el ruido del tenedor en la boca al comer..Miradas y gestos que dicen tanto..Creo que es un magnífico trabajo.Enhorabuena.
  • JORGEFRIED 9 months ago
    Una de mis metas con este trabajo era poder trabajar una situación familiar en torno a una mesa, en el cortometraje de “La fiesta del 35” lo intente pero no quede contento con el resultado por lo que volví a intentarlo en este trabajo.

    La mesa es un gran escenario, siempre recuerdo cuando era niño y comíamos con mi familia, una de las cosas que mas me marco es como mi papa presionaba los cubiertos al cortar la comida cuando se enojaba, uno podía saber exactamente el punto en que todo explotaría solo por ver la presión de los cubiertos y la forma que interactuaba con la mesa, creo que esos detalles siempre dicen mucho.

    if people try to live in the moment, then we do not have to remember such things. because the future is a projection of the past!!!
    greetings jörg
  • JORGEFRIED 3 months ago
    Very nice!
    That make me think that many time I try to live thinking in the future... that would be a problem
  • Jörg Brönnimann 3 months ago
    every thought is future or past!
    the paradox is: when you dont want to think of the future, then this is already a thought. :)
    the only thing to solve the problem of analysing is, to use the analyse, that you can live in the moment.
    spiritual practise is the only way to change conciosness.
    if technology tries to create cars that use less petrol, then this is change which is mind based!
    but i you have the feeling of not using a car out of compassion to the nature of human being, then this comes out of a change of conciosness.

    maybe this is a inspiration for your next film..., but do not plan to much otherwise the thinking goes to much in the future :)) greetings jörg
