Hole in the Moon (Hebrew: חור בלבנה; Hor B'Levana) is an 1964 Israeli avant-garde-satiric movie directed by Uri Zohar.
The film was heavily influenced by the French New Wave, particularly the films of Jean-Luc Godard. It was a response to the Zionist dramas of the 1950s, and satirizes the form by showing the production of one of these films. Hole in the Moon is an avant-garde film, incorporating elements of metacinema and direct commentary on narrative cinema itself.
