THE PRODUCTION OF THE UNPREDICTABLE
HADAS NEUMAN
“A CAMERA IN A BAG" JOURNEY OF A FILMMAKER WALKING DOWN THE STREETS
Hadas’ latest experimental short documentary, Two people will come, with balloons, has won the Next! Award (WIP) at the DocAviv International Film Festival 2021. In her research, ‘The production of the unpredictable’, she explores different ways in which she can use unpredictability as a narrative tool to reclaim the spectacle of everyday life and incorporate it into hybrid works that blend documentary and autofiction (where autobiographical elements meet fictional storytelling). hadasneuman@gmail.com hadasneuman.com

Hadas Neuman (Israel/Netherlands) is a BA graduate with an Honors scholarship majoring in script-writing and directing at Sapir College. In a more informal setting, she can also be introduced as a filmmaker walking down the streets (with a camera in her bag). Her short films (Prove it, Goosebumps, Fairy on a roof, and more) and feature documentary (The European grandma project, co-direction; 2018), have been screened at global festivals and won awards. Currently, her artistic practice is shifting towards the point at which fiction and documentary intersect. She is welcoming that very moment with a mix of excitement and anticipation (even suspense), visually expressed by the blank space below:
