One Life

Dir.: James Hawes
| 110 minutes

One Life tells the true story of Sir Nicholas ‘Nicky’ Winton, a young London broker who, along with the British Committee for Refugees in Czechoslovakia, rescued 669 children from the Nazis in the months leading to WWII. "With a quality cast, this is a finely crafted film that unfolds with great care, building towards a cathartic climax" (Total Film).

Daniel Auerbach

Dir.: David Volach
| 105 minutes

The hero of David Volach's second film (My Father My Lord) is David himself - a film director on an endless journey towards the making of the second film of his life; an autobiographical depiction of his hardships as an immigrant from Ultra-Orthodox to secular and the pain of Jewish and Israeli identity. 

Farewell Column

Dir.: Roni Ninio
| 77 minutes

When a columnist criticizes the government during the peak days of COVID-19, he experiences harassment and verbal attacks. Alongside the national crisis, his marriage is falling apart. This is a fierce and poignant film that describes Israeli reality without taking any prisoners.

Stop Making Sense

Dir.: Jonathan Demme
| 88 minutes

Composed of three Talking Heads concerts in Toronto, the film captures the extra-ordinary personality (and wardrobe) of David Byrne. Jonathan Demme’s intelligent directing, combined with the charismatic performance of the band’s lead singer, create a unique and sweeping extravaganza. 

American Fiction

Dir.: Cord Jefferson
| 117 minutes

An unsuccessful Black writer decides to write, under a pseudonym, an "authentic" novel that presents Black life as a life of poverty and crime and becomes a resounding success. American Fiction is a sharp and clever contemporary comedy that also possesses a "genuine heart" (Hollywood Reporter).

Uri makes a mistake in his interview for the army – he tells the truth. He says he's been sharing a room with his mother, his father is about to leave them, and he doesn't think he'll fit in in the army. In his last year of high school, Uri will have to find his path in life and a room of his own.

Ama Gloria

Dir.: Marie Amachoukeli

The Zone of Interest

Dir.: Jonathan Glazer
| 106 minutes

The story of Auschwitz commander Rudolf Höss and his wife Hedwig, letting the banality of their lives play out as the horrors of Auschwitz unfold. Beyond this, it is best to know as little as possible about the plot – suffice to say that viewers of the film are in for a powerful, unique, and unforgettable experience.
