Guernika, year 1937. The city is savagely bombed from the air by a battalion of fascist troops. During the bombardment, Republican artillery shoots down an Italian plane. The pilot manages to parachute very close to a village inhabited by three women. Badly wounded on the ground, he is going to be finished off by one of them, Ikerne. This one, however, feels disturbed by the man's presence, and in a purely impulsive act she decides to take him to the house's barn. The presence of the man in the house reveals the lethargic desire of the three women. But it will also bring out the small conflicts and contradictions that the harsh survival conditions in the house have generated. The solution finds its way between desire for man and hatred for the enemy.

“The Vanished” was a full-length feature film produced nearly twenty years ago by the IDF Spokesperson’s Film Unit. It was an exceptionally ambitious and elaborate production, with an estimated budget of around one million dollars. The IDF invested generous resources—hundreds of extras, tanks, helicopters, and more were made available—and some of Israel’s top film professionals joined (or were enlisted) to take part in its creation. Nevertheless, at the very last moment, the IDF decided to shelve the film. “The Vanished” was never publicly screened, and to this day, the reason for its suppression remains unclear.

Margaret Williams directs this 2001 production of adaptation of Benjamin Britten's television opera based on a short story by Henry James. Performers featured include Gerald Finley, Peter Savidge and Josephine Barstow. The conductor is Kent Nagano. As pertinent now as then, OWEN WINGRAVE was composed by Benjamin Britten at the height of the Vietnam War. The opera poses the question: Is pacifism an act of cowardice? Or rather a desire to escape from the spiral of war and create world peace? To what extent do we determine our own futures? Should we let past events inform the decisions we make? Britten’s characters grapple with timeless issues in this gripping psychodrama.
