Ayelet Heller (Hebrew: אילת הלר; born 1959) is a documentary filmmaker.
Early Life
[edit]Ayelet Heller was born in Utrecht in 1959, and moved to Israel with her parents at age 5. Heller grew up in Ramat Hasharon. At age 21 she started her studies at the Tel Aviv University.
Career
[edit]Heller's first film, "Unpromised Land", from 1992 describes the story of a group of Yemenite Jews which settled at the Jordan Valley in 1912 and lived next to the Kinneret Farm for 18 years until they were deported by members of Kvutzat Kinneret and were sent to the Marmuraq area in Rehovot.[1]. The film brought this historical event to the public eye in Israel, and was followed by academic research and a play at the Beersheba Theater.
In 2006 Heller directed the film Strawberry Fields. The film was shot for a year since June 2005, documenting the season of strawberry farmers in Beit Lahia, Gaza. During the shooting of the film the border checkpoint would often close for Israelis, and Heller directed the film crew over the phone. The movie was produced by Osnat Trabelsi's production company, and has won the "In the Spirit of Freedom" Award of the Jerusalem Film Festival .
In 2008 Heller directed the movie "Americans in Pyongyang", documenting the New York Philharmonic's visit to Pyongyang, North Korea, for a first concert after 50 years in Korea.
In 2023 Heller's movie "Journey to the Past" has won 1st prize for Documentary Feature Film in the Chicago International Children's Film Festival [2].
In 2024 Helle's film "The 1957 Transcripts" about the Kafr Qasim massacre has won the Special Jury Award in the Docaviv festival [3]. The decision to produce and screen the film as part of the International Documentary Film Festival Amsterdam (IDFA) in 2024 was described by Esther van Messel as "extremely courageous" [4]
Themes in Heller's Work
[edit]A recurring theme in Heller's work is dealing with the relationships between people during times of social and political conflict.
Other topics Heller dealt with in her work are the history of Jewish people during the Holocaust (including 30 short films for the Yad Vashem museum), historical and political contexts of classical music concerts, and the politics of food.
