The Film

Dying Beauty

It documents the salt formations of the Dead Sea across 2021 and 2022 — a landscape that forms and disappears fast enough to be filmed, as the level of the sea keeps falling.

Shot from
It was shot from the air, from land and from within the water itself.
Production
One of the most spectacular and invested landscape film produced in Israel, most of the investment of the intensive project that lasted a year (2021-2022) with weekly visits to the Dead Sea, was to build materials for the film — timelapse shots, motorized sliders, a professional drone and underwater photography.
Music
The film was produced by original music by Ariella Zeitlin.
