easy tiger

feelings of isolation and loneliness are often the reason people seek therapy. rarely, however, are these moments in therapy that lead therapists to reflect on such feelings in their own inner world and everyday lives. easy tiger by karel tuytschaever focuses on such a rare and unexpected moment and deals with the therapist’s feeling of alienation in a seemingly perfect world. while the therapist struggles with his inescapable desire for his male client and refuses to take a precise look at himself, the film’s stunning camera work allows a deeper insight and reminds us of film’s psychological potential.

the therapy

zvi landsman’s award-winning film the therapy provides an exclusive look into the destructive methods of conversion therapy. it follows the paths of lev and ben: a 54-year-old orthodox jew who wishes to remarry after his divorce, and a 23-year-old social worker who, after many years of therapy, is beginning to have doubts about it. the documentary draws attention to the dark stains and wounds that conversion therapy has caused and continues to cause. it is a powerful film that fights the threatening myth of homosexuality being a disease that can be “cured”.
