Hope I'm in the Frame

Art, despite everything

An aging film director is trying to make a new film. She struggles to find the support to get her project off the ground.
This director is Michal Bat-Adam, the first female film director in Israel, who dared to try - and ultimately succeed, in breaking into the closed, militaristic, and chauvinistic film industry in Israel during the 1970s.

"Hope I'm in the Frame" follows Bat-Adam’s shooting of her new low-budget film and intimately documents her and her husband, the Oscar winning film director Moshé Mizrahi, sharing the struggle to make films despite the establishment’s rejection.

The film raises questions about art, aging, love, partnership, and compassion.
