The Infected in HaYarkon Park
Yesterday, a bright-sunny morning, was the 2nd day of combat-training of the so called ‘Infected’ (in HaYarkon Park, Tel Aviv) for the post apocalyptic action/horror film: ‘Another World’, directed by Eitan Reuven and produced by Shlomi Aviner and Eitan Reuven (art director: Monique Friedlander). I did find an bunch of young people (cast and crew) full with spirit and soul. It was the first time that some of the ‘Infected’ received their make up and the results were just awesome and…scary!! The shooting of the new feature will start on April 21st and will take place (most of the part) in Hod-Hasharon, a small place, north of Tel-Aviv. We wish Eitan, Shlomi, Monique, Joshua and the rest of the crew and cast lots of success with this fantastic new adventure!! [For synopsis and … Read entire article »

Ayman Sikseck: the young writer from Jaffa
Last Friday, April 9th, I did find an long and very interesting article written by Doron Halutz in Haaretz Magazine about the young columnist and literary critic, Ayman Sikseck. The 26 years old Ayman, born in Jaffa, just released his debut work of fiction: “To Jaffa”. It is a story about the expierence of a literature student at the Hebrew University who divides his time between Jaffa and Jerusalem, and between a secret affair with his beloved Sherihan, a Muslim woman who is engaged to someone else, and a relationship with Nitzan, a Jewish woman. The book is only in Hebrew for now, but Ayman told me a few days ago, that they are talking about an English translation. We will keep you informed.. … Read entire article »

Five historic buildings sold in Tel Aviv
The construction & development company Dimri bought, last week, 5 historic buildings in-and around the Nahalat-Benyaminstreet for NIS 140.7 million (around: $45.- million). All the buildings are slated for preservation. One of the buildings is the famous ‘House with the Pillars’, designed in 1925 by Jehoeda Magidowitch, Tel Aviv’s first City Engineer, in Rambamstreet no. 12-16. A few years ago, the architect Uri Shitrit (who was yesterday arrested in Jerusalem, because one of the biggest building-fraude scandals ever in Israel!) made a new plan for the building and added three floors on top (!) of this historic building. Let’s hope that the Municipality of Tel Aviv will be ‘sane’ and won’t give permission to destroy another historic building in Tel Aviv, by putting floors on top of it! … Read entire article »
