The event is organised by the Israeli Embassy and will showcase 15 feature films and two documentaries, many of which have received awards at prestigious film festivals. Admission to all screenings is free.
"We will show the latest productions of the Israeli film industry, which produces over a hundred films annually," Mirjana Slaj Frolich, Cultural Attache at the Israeli Embassy, told Hina.
The festival, the most comprehensive to date, will open with the screening of Nitzan Gilady's Wedding Doll, a bitter-sweet story of a young, slightly mentally challenged woman who works in a toilet-paper factory and strives for independence, but is hindered by her overprotective mother.
The opening night will also feature Erez Tadmor's Wounded Land, a story of two police officers whose partnership is going through a new phase while they are protecting a terrorist in a hospital from an angry mob.
Also on show will be Yuval Delshad's Baba Joon, Israeli's candidate for this year's Oscar; The Kind Words by Shemi Zarhin; Elite Zexer's Sand Storm; Arik Rothstein's Antenna; One Week and a Day by Asaph Polonsky, this year's best Israeli film; The Bouncer by Meni Yaesh; and Ori Sivan's Harmonia.
