The Blue Caftan is a beautifully photographed film that tells the story of a complex triangle.

Movie producer Moshe Edery, CEO of United King Films, was awarded the Israel Prize for Lifetime Achievement. His journey from humble beginnings to cinema tycoon was celebrated.

In a joint statement, the local federation and ADL office decried the cancellation, saying it “only serves to blacklist Israeli culture."

The report comes only a few weeks after 1,200 Jewish creatives pinned a letter denouncing Glazer's speech.

The theater’s statement, posted to social media, did not provide details on the nature of the safety concerns, and the theater did not respond to requests for comment as of press time. 

Luc Besson is a born storyteller and his films, including DogMan, are undeniably entertaining. He knows how to pick actors with great presence. 

The letter says that "The use of words like ‘occupation’ to describe an indigenous Jewish people defending a homeland that dates back thousands of years distorts history."

Shikun (Hebrew for housing project), which was received enthusiastically by the Berlin audience, is Gitai’s 67th film

The Deer (HaZvi in Hebrew) was a newspaper founded by Eliezer Ben-Yehuda, the leading proponent of making Hebrew into the language of the Jewish homeland.

A festival tradition that will continue this year is lectures by experts that precede the screenings of many films.
