Profile of Udi Aloni

Forgiveness, Udi Aloniís most recent film, is a direct evolution of his work to date, including Local Angel, Gilgul Mechilot, The Book of Sham, Innocent Criminals, the Re-U-Man interactive project, and the documentary film Left, all of which have been exhibited to unanimous acclaim.

Aloni's projects in films and in visual arts always explore the fascinating discourse that takes place between theology and politics. His book, Gilgul Mechilot, and his feature film, Local Angel, include correspondences with the most pre-eminent philosophers of our time, including Slavoj Zizek, Alain Badiou, Avital Ronell, and Judith Butler, who refer to him as a unique and revolutionary thinker.

Aloni, in all of his activities, including university lectures, conferences and demonstrations, is a strong voice in promoting justice, peace, solidarity and love between Israel and Palestine. His movies and visual art projects have been presented in various leading museums, galleries, and film festivals, among them the Metropolitan Museum in New York, the Israel Museum in Jerusalem, and the Berlin, Toronto, and Buenos Aires film festivals. In the last five years, Aloni has concentrated on making films and writing. Forgiveness, his first fiction film, is a hybrid of his deep theoretical thinking and his pioneering creativity in visual aesthetics.
