The Second Watch

A short film produced as part of the Film and Television Department at Tel Aviv University. A reserve soldier stands guard at a small, isolated outpost in the desert. A small tape recorder keeps him company, but soon its batteries die. Out of boredom and loneliness, an unexpected connection develops between him and a Jordanian soldier stationed alone at a remote guard post across the border. Udi Ben-Arieh’s film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Live Action Short Film.
