Dear Librarian, CHILDREN OF THE SUN (76 min. 2007, Written and Directed by Ran Tal) The tapestry of the very personal and very public form a super story about one of the most fascinating myths of the Zionist movement in the Land of Israel. Nominated in the category of Best Documentary Ophir Prize of the Israeli Academy of Film 2008 Best Documentary - The Israeli Documentary Forum Awards, 2008 Best Directing - The Israeli Documentary Forum Awards, 2008 Best Production - The Israeli Documentary Forum Awards, 2008 Best Editing - The Israeli Documentary Forum Awards, 2008 Best Original Score - The Israeli Documentary Forum Awards, 2008 Best Sound Track - The Israeli Documentary Forum Awards, 2008 Best Research - The Israeli Documentary Forum Awards, 2008 Children of the first kibbutzim in Israel were born in the early 20th century to youthful parents, full of hope. They were called "Children of the Sun" because they considered these children to be the "Sun unto the Nations", an integral part of "the Revolution" in Israel. They were born into a utopia and were destined to become the "New Man". They were educated in an ideological society that aspired to replace the traditional family with the collective one, to subjugate the will of the individual in favor of the common good and a life of equality. This fascinating and moving documentary is essential in programming Israeli films. Already shown at several prestigious film festivals including the Berlin Jewish Film Festival and the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival, Ran Tal's film is made up of first person testimonies. He makes use of archival footage shot during the early kibbutz years and authentic audio documentation spanning the years 1930-1970. His use of the archival footage underscores the deep collective attachment that those early pioneers felt and the continued nostalgia Israelis continue to feel to this day. In addition, "Children of the Sun" was already purchased by some 20 esteemed libraries of the following universities: Yale, Harvard, Maryland, Duke, Austin, Florida, Miami, to name a few.
