For 18 months newbie Brit filmmaker Jake Witzenfeld trailed three three extremely engaging best friends in their early twenties with his camera. The result was an impressive and heartwarming documentary that is an intriguing snapshot of what life is like for gay Arabs living in a trendy suburb of Tel Aviv today. What was even more surprising is the fact that Witzenfeld is straight and Jewish.
We caught up with him in Tel Aviv on the eve of the latest screening of his movie Oriented at Boston’s Wicked Queer Film Festival to chat to him for PTV to get the lowdown on this remarkable new documentary. The full interview will be published later today after it had been broadcast, but meanwhile here is a clip of Jake talking of an unexpected twist that happened in the middle of shooting.
