LoveTrue

LoveTrue

Is there such a thing as true love? An artful exploration of that question guides the narrative of the latest feature–length film by Israeli director Alma Har’el. Travelling to Alaska, Hawaii and New York, she meets three couples at different stages of their lives and relationships to discover the movement, rather than the meaning, of true love. Using non–actors to act out significant moments from their pasts and play out possible versions of their futures, LoveTrue is an ode to the beautiful potential of partnership and a challenging confrontation of its complexities. The film is a journey through rather than an answer to the questions it asks; a journey that offers profound insight into our common quest to find love and our redefinition of its meaning as we grow.

Alma Har’el

Alma Har’el (1976, Tel Aviv, Israel) is a music video and film director, best known for her documentary, Bombay Beach, which took the top prize at Tribeca Film Festival in 2011 and has been taught as a genre–defining work in several universities including Harvard’s Sensory Ethnography Lab and Film Center. Har’el is famous for her ability to blur artistically the lines between documentary and fiction, use choreographed dance sequences effectively and choose music in an inspired way to achieve a surreal, dream–like poetic meditation on life.
