A-Kitzar
The A-Kitzar Program, an initiative of the New Fund for Cinema and Television (NFCT) in collaboration with the Culture and Arts Council of Mifal HaPais and the Jerusalem Film and Television Fund, is a program designed to support and provide a platform for Haredi women filmmakers who wish to develop and produce independent, powerful short films. Filmmakers accepted into the program receive comprehensive mentorship, from script development to the film’s release, with the guidance of a professional team from all areas of cinematic creation. The third cycle was dedicated to the theme “At the Sheitel Macher’s” – in Jerusalem, and the three films in this compilation reflect different perspectives on the wig salon and what takes place within it.
