Curiosità

Youth is a feature film written and directed by Tom Shoval. The film, released in 2013, is an Israeli-German co-production. Its premiere took place as part of the Panorama section at the 63rd Berlin International Film Festival on February 10, 2013.

Production

Shoval began working on the film after completing his studies in 2008. Gal Greenshpan, his classmate, who produced his graduation film Petah Tikva, became one of the film's producers with his production company, Green Productions. Shoval and Greenshpan toured Europe with a draft of the script, presenting it in pitching sessions, where it won several awards.

For the lead roles, Shoval sought two young brothers with a close bond, who not only resembled each other physically but also had strong acting abilities. The casting process took about a year, led by casting director Orit Azulay. They chose David and Ethan Cunio, two brothers for whom this was their first on-screen role. The brothers committed to an extensive process of workshops, rehearsals, and training to prepare for the demanding roles.

For the role of the girl Dafna, Gita Amelie, an actress at the beginning of her career, was cast. In addition, well-known actors such as Moshe Ivgy, Shirili Desha, Uri Hochman, Gilad Kleter, Alex Peleg, Noa Koler, and others were cast in the film.

The film was shot by Yaron Scharf (Footnote, Shiva) and edited by Joelle Alexis (A Film Unfinished, Plasticine). The music was composed by Ilam Wollman and Roy Chen, with additional music by Liran Reiter, the song Tu Te Reconnaitras by Anne-Marie David, and Insomnicide by the band These Immortal Souls.
