The Seven Tapes (Hebrew: 7 הסלילים של יונה וולך, romanized: Sheva Haslilim Shel Yona Walach) is a 2012 Israeli biographical documentary film by Yair Qedar. It is a portrait of Yona Wallach, based on interviews she had with Hilit Yeshurun.
The Seven Tapes premiered at the 2012 Jerusalem Film Festival, where it won the Best Film and Best Sound awards in the documentary film competition. It is the second film in the documentary series "Ha'Ivrim".
In the early 2000s, researchers uncovered several lost tape reels of several 1984 interviews of Wallach by Yeshurun as Wallach was dying.
Wallach's voice is the foundation of The Seven Tapes, accompanied by additional interviews, archive footage, and animated clips of her poetry. In the interviews, Wallach talks about her writing process, her approach to god, stories about different experiences she had, and her attraction to insanity, sex, and drugs. The result is a combination of autobiography and biography.[1]
