Showcasing Israeli Films

 


 

 

In this lighthearted drama about healing racial divisions, an Eritrean refugee is mistaken for a Nigerian soccer star and decides to hide his true identity in order to stay in Israel.

 

Marie reunites with her large Moroccan family for her wedding in Israel. Secrets are revealed and drama unfolds over the traditional week of sheva brachot (seven blessings), the celebratory meals following a wedding.

 

Torn between his artistic dreams and his parents’ expectations, a Mumbai hip-hop dancer makes a precarious choice after a chance encounter with an Israeli ballet master.

 

 

Days after the October 7th attack, a teenager returns to her kibbutz to search for her lost dog. Blending fiction and documentary, this film offers a unique account that is arresting in its humanity and gravity.

 

When an Israeli outpost comes under siege during the Yom Kippur War, the soldiers must decide whether to follow their idealistic commander into a final, hopeless battle.

 

A former Israeli secret service agent seeks forgiveness from the daughter of an Egyptian military officer that he helped to assassinate more than 50 years earlier.
