In "Subtext Film" Anan Tzukerman lands in Dimona for two days, and camps out on the lawn of an apartment building. He makes his way through the apartment building interviewing the tenants. Directly following it, "Anxious Escapism", filmed in a number of Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria, belongs to the genre of activist video, where the artist, by virtue of his/her own presence, is responsible for things happening. By means of a camera and a lot of nerve, Tzukerman confronts settlers in Judea and Samaria. He attempts to be their guest, to become a settler, and finally to confront them. The movie reveals the power relations in Israeli society, the personality of the conquering Israeli, and the paranoia that characterizes both sides – the Jewish settlers and the ‘foreign’ Jew who comes from the city.
