Kedar produced the film Istiklal, by the director Nizar Hassan, which won the Wolgin award for best Israeli documentary at the 1994 Jerusalem Film Festival. Kedar spoke of her film-making philosophy in a 2008 interview with Al-Jazeera: "I like conflicts, anything that has conflict, that's what I like. That's why I do wars … because that's the conflict of our lives here. Here in our society we do nothing to stop the conflict, that's who am I. I personally don't see any light at the end. I am critical and my films are not easy to watch and many of the Israeli viewers don't like it." Kedar's film Asesino, on the disappearance and presumed murder of thousands of young Jews during the Dirty War following the 1976 Argentine coup d'état, won the Noga Award at the 2001 Jerusalem Film Festival. Her film One Shot, which included "unprecedented" interviews with Israeli snipers and footage of them at work, received the 2004 Cologne Conference Phoenix Award. Hanuszka is a 2006 film by Kedar that tells the true story of a Jewish girl who survived the Holocaust. In extracts from Kedar's film Concrete broadcast on Britain's Channel 4 television on 26 January 2011, Israeli soldiers who took part in the 2008–09 attack on Gaza spoke of their orders, and stated that their commanders "psyched them up" and ordered "disproportionate" force. Following the broadcast, Kedar told Channel 4 News that she had received threatening messages calling her a traitor, calling for her to be expelled from Israel, and death threats. She said she had not received any messages of support from Israelis for making the film.
