It shows how skilled professionals work.”[5] Zilberman made his directorial debut with his theatrical feature documentary Watermarks (2004), which follows the champion women swimmers of Hakoah Vienna as they reunite at their old swimming pool 65 years after they were forced by the Nazis to flee Austria.
