Strangers (2007 Israeli film)

Strangers Zarim is a 2007 Israeli experimental fictional film directed by Guy Nattiv and Erez Tadmor that is set during the 2006 FIFA World Cup and the 2006 Lebanon War. It is the first feature film that they made together and was developed from an awardwinning 2004 short of the same name.

In 2004, directors Erez Tadmor and Guy Nattiv submitted a short called Strangers to the Sundance Film Festival. It won the Online Film Festival Viewers Award which led to funding a full length version of the film.They envisioned the feature version as experimental in form, largely improvised and centered around the World Cup in Berlin. Production began in Berlin with one actor Levo, photographer and producer. They then met with actress Lubna Azabal whom they convinced to join the production via phone by telling her two actors, one camera and the World Cup Soccer Championships. Thats all. No screenplay, only a synopsis, and we want to flow with it. According to the directors, they wanted the actors to improvise their lines without being bound by an official screenplay, and to let the relationship that would develop between the characteristics dictate the flow of the plot. ........
