“I’m extremely honored that ShortsTV has selected my film for its networks in both North America and Europe,” comments Lanska. “The film explores the universal theme about the love between people from two different worlds.  Little French Fish is a story about a Jewish woman and a Muslim man, and the conflict between their feelings and passions and traditions and social order. The film asks the question, ‘how does a person who finds his or herself in such a situation solve this internal conflict?’”

Little French Fish was named an official selection of the Washington Jewish Film Festival, one the world’s oldest and largest Jewish festivals, as well as Chelsea Film Festival, Beverly Hills Film Festival, Hollywood Women’s Film Festival, MELECH Tel-Aviv International Film Festival, Los Angeles Independent Film Festival Awards, Cannes International Independent Film Festival, New York World Film Festival and French Riviera Film Festival.

Lanska’s first short Okay, Mum was also acquired for North American and EMEA distribution and will premiere soon on the popular channel. The film won Best Picture Award at the Los Angeles Film Festival and was selected for the Short Film Corner at the Cannes Film Festival in 2017.

Lanska recently directed her first short documentary titled The Abraham Accords Change History: Women in the Middle East. Currently in post-production, the film captures the importance of women’s contributions to creating a prosperous life in the region. The film draws attention to the achievements made by women, who count for half of the indigenous population in the United Arab Emirates, and their interaction with women’s professional associations in Israel.

Lanska’s remarkable success in the short film realm have made the filmmaker poised to tackle her recently announced first feature film, I Am Not An Actress, based on the philosophies of French screen icon Brigitte Bardot.
