Screening of the first episode of the series “Chance of Salvation” followed by an open conversation with the audience about creativity, faith and inspiration. For 11 years, director Doron Tzabri accompanied musician Eviatar Banai with a camera in hand. The series he directed, “Chance of Salvation” is a monumental documentary work. An emotional, intimate and revealing journey into the contrasts that make up the life of one of Israel’s most respected artists: between light and darkness, between the love of God and the love of the audience, between elation and the abysses of fear. The journey of a man who lost his way and found his God and the love of his life in the darkness.

The screening of the first episode in the series and an artist meeting with director Doron Tzabari is a starting point for a fascinating meeting about documentary filmmaking, creativity, and inspiration.

At the meeting, Doron Tzabari will talk about the documentary challenge: How do you edit 11 years of documentation and 1,000 hours of raw material into 4 episodes? What made Banai reveal his life and family in front of the camera? And about Banai’s creative process and the tension between faith and art.
