Sweet Mud

Casting a critical and intensely personal eye of life on a kibbutz, Sweet Mud peels away the layers of folklore and romanticism to reveal the harshness of the communal enterprise. Israeli director Dror Shaul places his outstanding cast in settings of lush visual beauty in a film that was developed at the Sundance Screenwriters and Directors Lab with input by Stephen Gaghan and Ed Harris, amongst others. This summer the Consulate General of Israel will mark the centennial anniversary of the Kibbutz movement with this special outdoors screening. This evening will be dedicated to the magic of this unique Israeli social phenomenon. As the kibbutz is founded upon agriculture, with a concentration on nature, the film will be screened at Solar One, a venue powered solely by green energy. Enjoy a “kibbutz-like” gathering filled with Israeli food, music and film, all under the summer skies.
