Filmmaker Oren Ben-Simon is revisiting his debut feature film, "Morris," offering a director’s cut of the poetic story. The film centers on a Tel Aviv-based urban poet navigating life before the city’s modern high-rise development. “Morris” originated from Ben-Simon’s experiences within the city’s vibrant nightlife, shaped by poetry, music, and individuals living on the margins of society. The re-release allows audiences to re-examine the film with a renewed perspective on Tel Aviv’s evolving landscape. Ben-Simon’s work captures a specific moment in the city’s history, preserving a sense of its past character. The director’s cut likely offers additional insights into his artistic vision and the film’s themes.
