The Cinema Ritual Collective (CRC) is a creative production platform that merges cinematic storytelling with real-life, embodied transformation.
We work with participants from all over the world to document personal and collective change through carefully structured, non-verbal ritual actions.
These are not performances—but actual transformative processes captured in natural environments with cinematic precision.
-
The methods we use are based on embodied movement practices, symbolic actions, and visual storytelling—all designed to help participants release limiting identities and reconnect with core human values like empathy, courage, and purpose. They are the result of a decade of facilitating retreats and immersive workshops across Europe and Israel.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more.We call this approach "Cinema as Ritual." Each project becomes a cinematic rite of passage, filmed with natural light and sound, using movement, symbolism, and real emotional process rather than actors or scripts. The result is a powerful new kind of film: not fiction, not documentary, but an authentic record of transformation.
-
Our goal is to create films and events that reach beyond entertainment—to activate healing, dialogue, and connection in communities around the world.

TOTEM
TOTEM (2023, 70+ min) is a transformative, non-verbal cinematic ritual that follows one man’s journey through sacred rites to reclaim the true essence of authentic masculinity.
