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.

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?
