Their stories create a diverse and cinematic patchwork quilt of female directors, providing us with a multifaceted reflection of any woman who wishes for her story to be heard.

- DirectorMoran IferganStarsRonit ElkabetzA visual archival montage of the late director and actress Ronit Elkabetz told through the Radical collection of her extraordinary wardrobe. "Je t'aime, Ronit Elkabetz" is a cinematic essay film about one of the greatest Israeli Filmmakers of all time. It reflects on the importance of a garment chosen to be worn by an individual but in particular, a woman. It is about the political essence of the garment and its ability to form a reality and transform it. One single garment can tell a collective story of those subjugated, oppressed and repressed in an unconventional, groundbreaking and sophis-ticated way. This is a story about the power of cinema, of clothes and of one unforgettable woman standing for and embodying the deepest human desire for freedom and liberty.
