We're pleased to announce that HOTHOUSE—the latest film from renowned Israeli filmmaker Shimon Dotan, whose films have been the recipients of the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival and numerous Israeli Academy Awards—has been selected to the 2007 Sundance Film Festival. HOTHOUSE takes inside Israel's highest security prisons, explores the lives of Palestinian "security prisoners" (including Hamas and Fatah members of the Palestinian legistature) and the evolution of their society, inside and outside of prison, towards a democratic community.
