Story City, 2020
"Story City - A contemporary-prophetic nightmare, worn like a mask on the face of the apocalyptic era in which we find ourselves."
From an art review published in 'Haaretz' daily newspaper
"Ben Hantkant’s film affected me deeply, especially in its portrayal of Jerusalem as both an apocalyptic and a mysterious, fascinating place."
Ofer Liebergall, film critic
Story City is an experimental short film.
The film presents a free interpretation of Daniel's vision depicting the reign of a mysterious metal beast, who in the film becomes a hybrid creature representing an extensive system of connections.
