"Pigs of our city" was screened at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque • The Tel Avivians were delighted with laughter, the Haifaites less so

(Haipo) – The film "Pigs of our city" by the director Roni Avni, a graduate of the film major at the "Mensher Art College" was screened last week at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque.

The film, which is 20 minutes long, talks about the struggle to return the pigs to the wild in Haifa. It was filmed over several years and it describes the struggle from the headquarters of the neighborhoods, the same center Yaron Hanan together with friends from all the neighborhoods in Haifa who suffered badly from the plague of pigs, especially during the term of the outgoing mayor Dr. Einat Kalish Rotem. In the film by the director Roni Avni from Haifa, a graduate of the cinema major At Menesher Art College, you can see activists from the headquarters of the struggle to return the pigs to the wild, Haifa residents with different opinions on the issue of pigs and public figures such as Klish and Yona Yahav.

Yaron Hanan, leader of "Returning the Pigs to Nature", who was present at the screening of the film, told Lahi Fe:

I watched the movie and you see some of the activists of our struggle in it and I am happy about it. Other characters also appear in it, some residents with different opinions on the issue of pigs and some public figures including Klish and Yona Yahav. In my eyes, Roni Avni's film is an authentic work, smart and sensitive, a little cynical, but mostly full of love for the city of Haifa, mixed with sadness for what has been happening to us in the last five years.

In the eyes of the Tel Avivians who watched the premiere at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque, the film was mostly funny and the audience was delighted, but in the eyes of the few Haifa people who were at the screening, the film did not cause waves of laughter, because it is about our lives with wild pigs that also attack humans, burst into the streets, yards, stairwells and cause enormous damage to the city of Haifa and its residents and to our image in Israel and in the world. The audience really liked the film and it is definitely worth screening it in Israel and especially in Haifa. I will recommend that the film be screened at the next film festival and the audience will be invited to come watch it. In addition, the film is expected to air this year on Hot on Channel 8.

  1. Kill the wild boars and jackals wandering in Haifa as quickly as possible

  2. The pig in its own right needs to feed only among pigs - that's where it belongs!

  3. What about 'the dogs of our city'? Tel Aviv the city of dogs, an unflattering title. Barking shit and piss everywhere. Pigs are much better. Stop chasing them, you hypocrites

  4. The pigs multiplied in Haifa because humans interfered with nature. Humans eliminated the wild boars' natural enemies, among them the tigers, thus changing the balance that existed in nature from the creation of the world - the tigers were also here before us; In a state of dryness, a decrease in the amount of rain, following the actions of humans, including, for example, the Aswan Dam, the amount of precipitation decreased compared to the amount that was in the Haifa area 100 years ago and even 50 years ago. Reducing the amount of precipitation harms the lives of the pigs, so they hang around in the yards of the houses and in the public gardens that benefit from regular watering. In addition, the pigs enjoy all the good food that is thrown away by humans, including leftovers from feeding cats and even from pig-eaters (the few humans who feed pigs) - all this creates a paradise for breeding and multiplying the 'pet pigs' that are here in Haifa and endanger all of us. In addition, useful idiots have prevented an artificial dilution of lackeys designed to balance the unnatural encouragement of the pig people in our midst. In short, the new municipal administration led by Yona Yahav has an important task to restore sanity, among other things, regarding the wild boars. Successfully.

  5. Let's not get confused.. the pigs were here long before us!
    All the animals were here long before us!
    We are the ones who took over their living spaces and their nature!
    Their right to live here comes before our right because of the reasons I mentioned.
    Kill not the pigs, but those who call for the killing of the pigs!

  6. Slaughtering pigs is forbidden, raising pigs in the Holy Land and giving them as food to Christians, and the Arabs don't like pigs.

    • A. Not all Christians eat pork, I say as a Christian.
      B. It is absolutely forbidden to slaughter pigs on the land of Israel, so you didn't give that much of a solution, Bible genius,
      In your place as a Jew, you will relearn the Torah and the Bible, because you have no basic knowledge
      And don't be so quick to judge others before you look in the mirror

  7. Congratulations to Yona.
    Don't forget that after Klish's victory, she refused to shake your hand extended for blessing and success.

    • Isn't this Yahav the one who was recorded threatening city council workers in the 2018 elections?
      How come no indictment was filed?
      Because he is from the barangay??

  8. Also make a film about the ports of fire.
    I couldn't understand why the Haifa pigs are not put into the Hamas tunnels in the Gaza Strip. Because it's immoral????

    • Maybe we'll put you in a Tarzan strip? A piece of shit.
      The wild boars have a right to life here. We took over their living areas - not the other way around!

  9. Yaron you have become pathetic.
    You were on the council for 15 years and you didn't notice that Yahav has not built a single shelter since his second son... that there are no neighborhood evacuation plans in an emergency? Isn't there a fire station in Romma that they promised to build with the Carmel tunnels?
    Where were you?! Why were you silent?!
    Make a movie about it. Call him "Despite all my efforts, I didn't say a word" about how we sat with Yahav and 12 years after the Second Lebanon we didn't tweet a word about the situation of the shelters in Haifa.

  10. Whoever chooses, may they be successful.. the main thing is that they work for the benefit of the city of Haifa
