The full-length feature debut by writer/director Shirel Peleg is a charming addition to the canon of contemporary Israeli cinema. It’s an effective queer romcom that also manages to make a political statement.

Up until now NQV Media’s output has mostly focused on the gay male experience through shorts collections such as ‘The Boys’ and ‘The Male Gaze’. For their new series ‘Upon Her Lips’, they’re switching things up and focusing on the lesbian experience. The first instalment is ‘Upon Her Lips: Pure Feels’, which brings together five shorts from Israel, Germany, Sweden, France and Brazil to give a glimpse into what it’s like to be a lesbian in the modern day.
‘Upon Her Lips: Pure Feels’ opens with Israeli film-maker Tzurit Hartzion’s ‘Fake It’, which tells the story of a woman who decides to create a photography project about her past relationship. Reluctantly pulling her ex-girlfriend into the middle of it, the project reignites a fiery passion between the two women but it also reminds them why they decided they could no longer be together. The short whizzes by at a breezy pace and it’s an engaging start.
