Bickels [Socialism] shows a walk through 23 buildings located in Israel, designed by kibbutz architect Samuel Bickels (1909-1975). Mostly public spaces dedicated to the needs of different kibuttzim, they were built between 1942 and 1973 and represented the ideas of socialist communities of the time. The film shows these buildings in their current state (May, 2015), and while some have their use still preserved, others remain as memorials of a historical movement, recently renovated or in a state of deterioration. After the screening, there will be a discussion open to the public with the presence of the director Heinz Emigholz, the co-producer of the film Galia Bar-Or, mediated by the film critic Aaron Cutler.
