| Making Arrangements – a film review of "Arranged" |
|
The age old question of how to find Mr. Right is the basis of the film
"Arranged" by Stefan Schaefer, Diane Crespo, and Yuta Silverman. What
makes this film different than all of the other romantic comedies or
dramas that explore this theme is the unconventional two central
characters in the film – an orthodox Jewish woman and a devoted Muslim
woman from Syria. The filmmakers take a bold leap by exploring this
common theme within two traditional cultures that are rarely depicted
on film together.

|
Primo Levi’s Journey is a new documentary about the path Primo Levi took through Europe once
he was liberated from Auschwitz. The documentary uses voice over
narration from Primo Levi’s book "The Truce" (about his eight-month
journey to Italy via various locations in Europe after being liberated
from Auschwitz) over modern day footage of the locations that he wrote
about. The viewer gains some insight about these locations and what has
happened to them since World War II.

| "The Bubble" – an Eyton Fox film |
|
"Love, Love Tel Aviv" is the slogan on the T-shirt designed by Lulu
that is worn by most of the main characters in Eyton Fox’s latest film,
"The Bubble." The T-shirt depicts the yearning for peace, sensitivity,
tolerance, and freedom of four young people who live in and around Tel
Aviv. The film tries to depict how three Israelis (Lulu, Noam, and
Yali) and one Palestinian (Ashraf) try to lead normal lives in Tel Aviv
(their bubble) while intolerance and hatred brew around them.
