Film

The film explores how a couple, grieving the loss of their young son who was killed in an accident two years before, decide to adopt an AI robot programmed to mimic their child.

The film, set to premiere in Israel on November 26, had a massive opening weekend in North America, opening to box office numbers not seen in more than 20 years for a narrative documentary.

Special events this year will include a 35-mm. screening of "Bound" and a screening of the beloved cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

The idea of people who thought they were as stressed as they could be on October 6 is a smart lens for tackling October 7. You get to know each character and are drawn into their stories.

In addition, "Cupertino" is a new series from Robert and Michelle King, the husband-and-wife duo behind "The Good Wife" and "The Good Fight."

Notwithstanding the heavy subject matter of many of the films, Jerusalem Women’s Film Festival attendees are expected to come away from the festival in a buoyant, hopeful frame of mind.

The Jerusalem Women's Film Festival will honor Hanna Azoulay-Hasfari while screening new Israeli and international films exploring identity, family, mental health, and women's experiences.

The film's success followed a controversy in which it was initially removed from the festival’s lineup over clearance demands related to Hamas bodycam footage, then reinstated after protests.

Over the past three years, as an arts and culture writer, I have tried my best to cope with the events of October 7 by striking a balance between arts chronicling those killed in the war.

HaHolchim BaRosh arranged the screening; it supports Oketz veterans as they transition into civilian life and maintains a community for former unit members.
