Jerusalem Film Festival
Jerusalem Film Festival
The Jerusalem Film Festival project was one of the most ambitious undertakings in my career. Approached by the Cinematheque of Jerusalem, I was tasked with creating a breathtaking visual mapping experience on the ancient walls of the Old City at the King David Gate. Spanning a colossal projection area of nearly 100 meters, this project redefined what was possible in the realm of visual storytelling.
Pushing boundaries of innovation
- Crafted an immersive visual narrative tailored to the unique architecture of Jerusalem’s historic stone walls.
- Merged cutting-edge 3D modeling and animation techniques with the timeless texture of the Old City.
- Conceived six meticulously designed scenes that transformed the wall into a dynamic, illuminated canvas.
- Pioneered techniques to achieve effects impossible with traditional lighting, respecting the monument's protected status.
