Hi there,
Sometimes it seems like we live in a world where everything has already been said and done culturally. Great works of literature have already been published, iconic art is already world-famous, and important musical compositions are being taught worldwide. Is it even possible to innovate?
"Save As" is a multidisciplinary cultural festival that explores the borders of influence and inspiration. The paths and stone courtyards of Mishkenot Sha'ananim in Jerusalem will come alive with countless literary talks, comedy shows, music, dance, and more. The festival seeks to trace the elusive fingerprints of influences and chart the hidden road map of inspiration. To show how mythological works permeate new works, and to celebrate the way in which contemporary creators insist and succeed in becoming an original voice

Throughout the evening:
Talk to Me
A woman is sitting on an armchair in a hidden room. She makes a clear request - "Talk to me". Talk to me in this moment, which will never come again, in which two people are sitting opposite one another and each is facing himself.
Creators: Maya Buenos and Eyal Levit
A Date with a Poet
The poet Orit Gidali invites couples to a conversation at the bar, at the end of which she will write a poem for them - a poem about love or hardship, overcoming or celebration. Their song, written for them is a song they need to hear.
Word Jam
Words suggested by the audience in real time will become new and completely original songs under the hands of the poet Tzachi Avinoam and the video-art artist Aric Futterman.
By Eye
