Video artist Ben Hantkant looks back at the often traumatic experience of having served in the Israeli Army in this bold, experimental work that explores the difficulties of being a gay man in the military. Blurring the lines between reality and a very dark, dreamlike fantasy, War. Room raises questions about perception and about the values of present-day Israel.
