AUDIENCE CHOICE, Israel Film Festival (2000)
Ziv Gonen, an Israeli soldier waiting for a bus, may or may not have been a victim of a terrorist bombing. Ayelet Bargur’s drama focuses on Ziv’s family as they await news of his whereabouts. As they wait, family and friends pull together and fall apart as the tension mounts and the Gonen family home becomes the site of pent up hopes and fears. Beautifully crafted and stunningly acted, this award-winning feature film illuminates every Israeli family’s nightmare.
As If Nothing Happened is based on the personal experience of director Ayelet Bargur and her family in the aftermath of the Beit Lid terrorist attack of January 22, 1995. Barger’s fictional account incorporates archival footage of the Beit Lid attack during which two suicide bombers killed nineteen Israelis on a quiet Sunday morning.

Four commanders in the same Israeli Defense Force Golan Heights paratrooper unit, were killed over a 22-month period.
