Vanished is the story of the Iraqi poetess Lilian Levi. Levi was rejected by the arts community in Israel and immigrated to France where she gained success. The story explores the marginalisation and discrimination of minority group artists in Israel and presents what remains of an artist lost to time. Since limited sources remain of Lilian Levi’s mark on history, the story is told through those influenced by her and her work. At the end of the film, are we able to know who Lilian Levi is and was? Will Lilian Levi remain lost to us or will a new generation rekindle her flame?
