International Student Film Festival in Tel Aviv

The festival was moved to August this year because the academic year was delayed due to the war. Many of the films will address issues related to the war and the October 7 attack that sparked it.

Kasanoff has a personal philosophy about nurturing creativity and he has even written a book about it, A Touch of the Madness: How to be More Innovative in Work and Life... by Being a Little Crazy.

The festival is now older than many of its participants, but it’s still one of the liveliest movie events of the year.

This program, which was created by the Polish Institute in Tel Aviv in cooperation with the Adam Mickiewicz Institute in Poland, began in 2019.

The guests of honor from abroad, as well as Israeli filmmakers, will hold master classes and screen their films, some for the first time, in front of an Israeli audience.

Lelio, who is the guest of honor at the 2022 Tel Aviv International Student Film Festival, is excited to visit Israel for the first time and to take part in the film festival. 

The Iranian film The Fourth Wall, by Mahbubeh Kalai, uses animation to tell the story of an imaginative child who stutters and it will take part in the international competition

I have experienced that feeling of separation from my land, my people, my family several times. It is sad, it hurts, but it is also an evolution for your soul
