Derived from the traditional Ethiopian language Amharic, "Yene Fikir" translates to "My Love" in English. The film is an exploration of immigrant culture and sense memory, featuring Sara, an Ethiopian Israeli who immigrated to New York City from Jerusalem 18 years ago. Yene Fikir was screened for an audience at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art to a live score, written and performed by Natalie Prass using only vocals and a loop station. This live score, the official soundtrack, was then placed into the final film for release.
