About
Je suis un songeur. Songeur doesn’t translate well in English; it roughly means someone halfway between
thoughts and dreams, or in both.
Ronen Eldar is a French/Israeli artist and filmmaker whose nomadic life makes it difficult for him to call anywhere truly home. This in-betweenness has nurtured an approach to his practice that is both earnest and curious. His work explores themes around belonging and perception, how one decides to exist and navigate through this world, and the myths we live in.
Working across fiction and documentary, his films have screened at BAFTA- and Oscar-qualifying festivals, including Encounters, Short Shorts, Vienna Shorts, Flatpack, Cinequest, and the Brussels Short Film Festival.
