And the alley she whitewashed in light blue (72'), Nili Portugali, Israel

At a time of existential threat to the physical and human environment we live in, Architect Nili Portugali
takes us into a deeply intimate journey in the Galilean 'Kabbala' holy city of Tsefat. A childhood journey
that unfolds gradually from her present holistic / phenomenological / Buddhist / scientific Point of View
(replacing current thoughts and approaches) to a discovery of profound universal insights of: What is their
secret of all those great timeless buildings of the past, cities, villages, tents and temples endowed with
beauty and soul in which man feels 'at home', and what is that One pure 'art of making' which is thousands
of years old that creates them (any the Arts), at any culture, at any place and at any time. That, via
reconstructing in her unique poetic meditative cinematic language her childhood memories engraved on
each stone of the invisible city's history with cultural heritage of more than1000 years that no longer exists,
and is totally forgotten. The birth place and hometown of her family since early 19th century, where her
grandmother considered by Portugali to be A “Zen Master” founded her hotel, in a small stone building
around a patio at the end of an alley in the old city that no longer exists. "Using my body of knowledge and
experience I have been accumulating in multidisciplinary creative work in the visual arts; writing and
Architecture as my main profession, the film both in form and content, explore and cross new boundaries,
and straddle the line between art and cinema“.
