Shira Geffen, Writer and Director, Self Made.

Festival Section: Critics Week.

Writer/Director Shira Geffen is no stranger to the Cannes film festival, as her movie “Jellyfish” picked up the prestigious Camera D’or award in 2007. This time she is back with SELF MADE, a story of two women -one Israeli, the other Palestinian- who are trapped within their respective worlds. After a mix-up at a checkpoint, they find themselves living the life of the other on the opposite side of the border.
