The Most Precious of Cargoes

Once upon a time, a poor woodcutter and his wife lived in a great forest. Cold, hunger, poverty and a war raging all around them meant their lives were very hard. One day, the woodcutter’s wife rescues a child – a baby girl thrown from one of the many trains that constantly pass through the forest. This baby, this “most precious of cargoes,” will transform the lives of the poor woodcutter’s wife and her husband, as well as those whose paths the child will cross – including the man who threw her from the train. And some will try to protect her, whatever the cost. Their story will reveal the worst and the best in the hearts of men.

The film premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and played at over 40 film festivals worldwide.

Inked: Our Stories Remarked

Inked: Our Stories Remarked is an exploration into a captivating yet complex, new phenomenon – where third generation descendants of Holocaust survivors choose to remember their ancestors through commemorative tattoos. Through interviews with Holocaust survivors and their descendants, combined with cinematic visuals and archival footage, this short documentary explores the decision to etch history onto the body – an act that invites us to confront essential questions about memory, Jewish identity and self-expression.

The film played at the 2026 Miami Jewish Film Festival.
