What's new to do in Israel's capital?

TV Time: 'The Intern' is a new, polished medical suspense drama starring Niv Sultan, best known for Tehran, who plays Hadas, an ambitious and very promising surgical resident.

Laszlo Nemes, who is now at the Cannes Film Festival promoting his latest movie, Moulin, is best known for his first feature film, Son of Saul (2015).

The fourth Rahat Film Festival brought 4,000 visitors for screenings, filmmaker encounters, city tours, and a celebration of Bedouin culture and Middle Eastern cinema.

The movie is more reminiscent of the films of Noah Baumbach, Nicole Holofcener, and Lisa Cholodenko at their best, or even, at moments, of James L. Brooks.

Twelve new films have been chosen for the Israeli competition. They include Soccer for the Soul, by Avida Livny, and Shalom, by Meital Zvieli.

Attacks on synagogues and Jewish-owned businesses are increasing – not only in the UK but throughout the free world.

It’s usually the men in movies who have this kind of sudden-onset midlife crisis, but here it’s Eva who impulsively decides to move out of her apartment and start dating.

Sons and Soldiers tells the amazing true story about a group of young Jewish refugees from Germany and surrounding countries, who made it to the US in the 1930s just before the Nazis closed in.

The new film is a throwback to the days when eccentric female protagonists were called “kooky.”
