"Cordova", a new program written, directed, shot and played by the group bearing the same name is made up of Roman Baembaev (whose Spanish garden gave the name to the whole project), Lior Waterman, Yonatan Levy, Ruti Sela, Shay-Lee Uziel and Gilad Ratman.
The two first films the group made (parts of a “trilogy” that was never finished) resound with elements from this poetry: a dichotomous worldview, the threat of the greedy baboons versus the righteous pursuers of wisdom, poetry and art. Those last are the collective’s members themselves, who wrote, directed and played themselves in the films together. The righteous of Cordova. Following the completion of these films, and the writing of another screenplay, each of the artists began developing his or her own work independently instead of focusing on the collective effort. However, they still maintain a close creative, cooperative bond: they act in each other’s videos, edit or shoot each other’s films, visit each other’s studios and generally keep up with each other’s work and relate to it.
