77 Steps, a love story in Tel Aviv

“It’s a story of love in the city, far away from home and family, chasing dreams on the gritty pavements, walking up endless flights of stairs, looking from dilapidated balconies into the brilliant white Mediterranean sun, surrounded by crowds, looking for a friend, a job, an apartment, creating live. At night the colors of the city creating live, there’s a party on the roof, the music is right and the meet…” wrote Ayelet Dekel in a review about 77 Steps, a documentary directed by Ibtisam Mara’ana, that was screened a few days ago at the 27th Jerusalem Film Festival. It is a love story of the (woman) director, moving from a Muslim village in the North of the country to Tel Aviv and her Jewish-Canadian neighbor Jonathan. The documentary is fast-paced, … Read entire article »

Clothes like days

An interesting article about the fashion designer Michal Bassad, I did find today in The Jerusalem Post Magazine (July 17th 2009) written by Michal Lando and Mya Guarnieri. Michal says: “My clothes are very organic in that manner, they are not planned, they are intuitive…” and: “My design has become softer over the years…it’s not only about aesthetics, it’s about philosophy and life.” … Read entire article »

Tel Aviv Diary

Tel Aviv is a great place to be, I knew that. But I really had to acclimatize to it again… Not only the heat, but its pace, the way it smells and it’s noices… But it is absolutely great to be home… I started ‘running’ from day one because I wanted to suck it all into me. I am glad that it is shabbat now… Just for its rest… It’s been a few days that we put something on Tel Aviv Fever, just because of this acclimatizing. Frits and I have been talking a lot. We are there, do not forget about us. ;-) … Read entire article »

“Tel Aviv from the bottom of a coffee cup and a beer glass”

Yesterday, Friday 15th, I found this nice article in The Jerusalem Post by Ari Miller: “Two vices too few”. He wrote: “Tel-Aviv turns me on. From the beautiful woman to the nooks and crannies it has to offer, I can’t seem to get enough. Stuck between the Mediterranean coast and Israel, coupled with the malaise of life in general, this city, which combines the best of the First World with the exotic tragedy of the Third, is made livable for two reasons: coffee and beer. Let me explain…” [via Jerusalem Post Online] … Read entire article »

TEL AVIV: For Ever Young

On a sunny afternoon, April the 11th 1909, 150 man, woman and children left the over-crowded port-city of Jaffa and walked 3 km north trough the hot, burning sand to a spot were they decided about the future of today’s Tel Aviv. Within a few month the first houses for those 66 families were build (Herzl, Jehuda-ha Levie and Lilienblum-street). As for today Tel Aviv-Jaffa population hit an all-time high of 391.300 inhabitants, still quite small compare to cities in Europe and the States. But this small city is an open minded city, free of spirit and always on the move. Just read what international magazines and papers wrote the last few years about the city: In January 2008 the leading French fashion magazine Vogue dedicated three flattering articles about Tel Aviv … Read entire article »
