Israeli movie

The movie is an adaptation of the series of books called Jaffa Stories by the late journalist Menahem Talmi, which ran in Maariv and has just been reissued in digital editions.

In "The Property," grief, romance, and unexpected revelations unfold as a family seeks to reclaim its past in Warsaw.

As the protesters were led out, the audience broke into a chant of, “Bring them home!” a call for Hamas to release the approximately one hundred hostages it is still holding in Gaza. 

Carol Kane stars in Between the Temples, a touching film about connection and transformation, exploring deep relationships and featuring a unique Israeli soundtrack.

The movie dramatizes this period of uneasy coexistence; that while the young volunteers want everything to be easy and joyful, the threat of terrorism is ever-present. 

The film is showing throughout July and August at theaters in the Lev Cinemas chain and other venues around the country.

The films illustrate the diversity and professionalism of the Israeli film industry and show that even in a time of war and tragedy, Israeli creators continue to work.

Usually, whether I like a movie or not, I can understand why the director wanted to make it, but here the reasoning eluded me.

Farewell Column, set about three years ago, tells the story of Karmi, a political columnist who has offended some very thuggish people with a column criticizing the Netanyahu government.

The idea for the film was on his mind for several years before he made it, now Green feels that its as good a time as any to release this character-driven dramatic story.

Several Sundance panels focused on Jewish and Israeli issues, as well as events held in response to the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and the Israel-Gaza war.
