Black and white cinematography symbolizes yearning for freedom amid political tensions and human connections between Israelis and Iranians.

The film “Tatami,” co-directed by Iranian and Israeli filmmakers, was shot in secret to avoid Tehran’s interference.

It premiered at the Venice Film Festival, focusing on the story of an Iranian judoka ordered to fake an injury to avoid an Israeli opponent, highlighting the political tensions between the two nations.

The black and white cinematography underscores the claustrophobic world these characters inhabit, symbolizing their longing for freedom in a politically charged environment, while also emphasizing the human connections that transcend political boundaries between Israeli and Iranian people.
