May 15, 1998 Israeli film features new recording from Waters An Israeli feature-length film, "The Dybbuk of the Holy Apple Field," includes a new recording by Roger Waters: a cover version of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door." The rest of the film's music is supplied by Rick Wentworth, who has provided music for a number of films and television features, including the film "How To Get Ahead In Advertising" and the series "Cracker." "Dybbuk" is not the only association between Waters and Wentworth. The two are collaborating on Waters' opera, "Ça Ira," which is to be recorded this year. "The Dybbuk of the Holy Apple Field" is in the Hebrew language, but offers English subtitles. Running 93 minutes in length, the film was directed by Yossi Somer, and stars Ayelet Z'urer and Yehezkel Lazarov. The film also features Moshe Ivgi, Orna Porat and Igal Naor. The film was shown at the 48th Berlin International Film Festival last February, and was also shown at the Haifa Film Festival. Because the film is in the Hebrew language, the film may be hard to find beyond Israel or large Hebrew-speaking communities. However, it will likely be released to video where it may eventually be found in the "Imports" section of some video rental shops. There is no indication at this point that the soundtrack has been released, nor that it will be. All evidence suggests that the cover of "Knockin' On Heaven's Door" is Waters' sole contribution to the soundtrack. A trailer for the film which includes a bit of Waters' song near the end can be found at http://www.mediaweb-tv.com/english/ifb98/980217/dybbuk.html The clip is in RealVideo. Slower connections should expect poor quality.
