Oscar-Nominated Filmmaker Guy Davidi Brings ‘Innocence’ To IDFA, Powerful Doc That Questions Militarization Of Israeli Society
18.11.2022 - 19:03 / deadline.com
Guy Davidi’s film Innocence is haunted by the words of Israeli soldiers who did not survive their mandatory military service.
“Humans have an urge for destruction,” one of the soldiers notes, an indication of his deep skepticism about being forced to serve in the Israel Defense Forces. Another says, “The killing repulses me.” Whether they harbor misgivings or not, every Israeli – male and female – must serve in the military when they reach 18.
Innocence, which played at IDFA in the Best of Fests category, examines the psychic impact of militarization that suffuses Israel, affecting individuals and the country as a whole, in Davidi’s view.
“When you meet people who have served in the army, they are all injured,” Davidi tells Deadline. “We are an injured society.”
Davidi, who co-directed the renowned 2010 documentary Five Broken Cameras, worked on Innocence for a decade. The early years of the project were spent attempting to establish contact with families of soldiers who had killed themselves while serving in the IDF (according to the Times of Israel, suicide was the leading cause of death among active military in Israel in 2021 and 2020). A number of these families shared writings and videos of their loved ones, archival materials that became the driving elements of the film.
“My idea was to tell the story from their perspective,” Davidi explains, “so not filming interviews or anyone talking about [the soldiers], or professionals, just to let them speak, tell the story.”
The words of 20-year-old Halil Givati Rapp are among those that reverberate in the film. He wrote in his diary, “This world is full of evil, exploitation, injustice, and pain. Once I joined the army, I became a part of what creates this.”
