The Jewish Moor

A creative documentary by Omar Al Abdul Razzak

A month after Hamas’s attack on Israel, S., a Jewish-Israeli illustrator living in Spain, breaks up with her partner, Omar, a Spanish filmmaker of Syrian Muslim descent. He then decides to resume the film they had started together, using the footage they shot in the Middle East, the half-finished drawings she left behind, and video archives of the pregnancy of a child who will be born from the union of two communities in a perpetual state of war: the Arab and the Israeli.

The Jewish Moor is a journey through religious fanaticism and the absurdities that give rise to the concept of identity. It is also the story of the breakup of a mixed-race couple who tried to overcome their political and cultural differences.

Produced by TOURMALET FILMS in co-production with RAYUELA PRODUCTIONS, with support from the ICAA, the Government of the Canary Islands, the Island, the Government of Tenerife, ECAM, and the TAX SHELTER, and with the participation of RADIO-TELEVISIONES CANARIAS
