NO NAME RESTAURANT

Monday, August 5 7PM

 


ALEXANDRIA, EGYPT. To save the synagogue of the once largest Jewish community in the world from being shut down, Ben, an ultra-Orthodox Brooklyn Jew visiting Jerusalem, is sent out to be the desperately needed tenth man for the ceremonies of Pesach. Having missed his plane and been kicked off the bus in the Sinai Desert, his last hope is Adel, a grumpy Bedouin looking for his camel. When their car breaks down, it becomes a matter of their very survival. Although rescued by the monks of St. Catherine, Ben is too sick to go on. It is the Bedouin disguised as Ben who is now rushing on towards Alexandria to save the Jewish community.

THE ROAD TO EILAT

Tues. 8/6 @ 7 PM OR

Sun. 8/11 @ 4 PM

Winner of Best Israeli Film, Best Actor, and Best Cinematography at the Jerusalem Film Festival, and nominated for an additional 8 Israeli Academy Awards (Ophirs), Road to Eilat is a semi-autobiographical bittersweet tale about estranged father and son Kibbutzniks who set off on an eventful road trip across Israel on an old tractor. The story centers around Albert, an aging war veteran brilliantly portrayed by Shmuel Vilozni (MJFF films Fractures and And Then She Arrived), who one fateful night impulsively makes a drunken bet: that he will drive his rundown old tractor all the way to Eilat.

MARTHA LIEBERMAN: A STOLEN LIFE 

4PM

Berlin,1943. Upper-class widow Martha Liebermann could never have imagined having to leave her beloved homeland at the age of 85. As a Jew, however, her only choice is to go abroad or wait to be deported to a concentration camp. The high reputation and valuable paintings of her world-famous artist husband Max Liebermann still give her protection. But for how much longer?
