5 Broken Cameras had funding from leading Israeli institutions, which prompted some boycott calls against the film; but Davidi can’t get any such funding for his latest project, a portrait of a rebel acting teacher in Tel Aviv in the midst of the Cast Lead assault on Gaza five years ago. The film is called Mixed Feelings, and is scheduled to come out next year, and Davidi is going to Indiegogo to try and get the last $30,000 he needs for the movie, to cover editing costs. (He is halfway to his goal.)

I spoke with Davidi by phone in Denmark, where he is staying with his girlfriend, about the cultural and political climate inside Israel. He lost institutional support, he said, when he made statements in favor of boycott.
