Etgar Keret 'based on a true story'

In his extremely short stories, the Israeli writer Etgar Keret plays an impressive game with fantasy and reality. The story of his life, too, sounds like a modern fairy tale. In this hybrid documentary Stephane Kaas and Rutger Lemm investigate why telling lies is essential to Keret’s survival. Nina Gantz and I worked together on de animated stories in the film. Animation direction, backgrounds and some animation shots are done by me. Below you can watch the trailer.
