Neta Elkayam and Amit Haï Cohen create music that evokes both their Israeli identities and their Judeo-Moroccan heritage. Through a musical tour of Morocco, the couple attempts to bridge the dissonance in these identities, heal their parents’ wounds of exile, and take in their grandparents’ homeland. With a rich soundtrack of traditional songs,
In Your Eyes, I See My Country tells the story of Moroccan Jewry, of a time when Jews and Muslims lived together, and of what was lost and what lives on.

On the edge of the Negev Desert lies Sderot, a city of factory workers and rock musicians – the children of refugees from North Africa and the Middle East who grew up in a transit camp. Despite being pummeled for years by homemade missiles known as Qassams, the people of Sderot persevere. In raucous Moroccan celebrations, they embrace newcomers. In quiet family dinners, they voice their dreams. And in underground bomb shelters, they create music – a unique Sderot sound that has transformed Israeli music by injecting Middle Eastern influences into traditional Western beats. Searching for a story about music, filmmaker Laura Bialis (
Vishniac, BJF 2023) stumbles into a world she never imagined and encounters a creative community that captivates her, leading her to love and ultimately changing her life's course.

In the class-obsessed and religiously divided United Kingdom of the early 1920s, two determined young runners train for the 1924 Paris Olympics. Eric Liddell, a devout Christian born to Scottish missionaries in China, sees running as part of his worship of God’s glory and refuses to train or compete on the Sabbath. Harold Abrahams overcomes antisemitism and class bias but neglects his beloved sweetheart, Sybil, in his single-minded quest. |
