Vlada Goes to London

Vlada is a pizza delivery girl who lives in Haifa and dreams of becoming a famous DJ. Within a five-hour shift, we get a glimpse into her world full of pressure where she's willing to do whatever it takes to find the money for a flight to perform at a festival in London.

In my film "Vlada Goes to London" I wanted to talk on the one hand about lack of options through the difficult life of young creative people and about the problems that accompany them. Either about indifference and society's lack of empathy towards them. On the other hand, I wanted to talk about the fact that everyone gets what they deserve. Vlada is arrogant, nervous, pessimistic, her feelings and thoughts are crooked because of the drugs that surround her, and it doesn't allow her to succeed. Stylistically I wanted to juxtapose the beauty of the Haifa city landscapes with the harshness of the protagonist’s reality. I wanted to captivate audiences with this interplay of locations and characters, with fast ‘nervous’ editing, accompanied by a dark electronic soundtrack. By telling the story of one broken dream, I hoped to evoke compassion for creative people without funds.
