Beyond the Walls

Dir.: Uri Barbash
| 103 minutes

Newly restored digital copy, produced by the Israel Film Archive at the Jerusalem Cinematheque. ​In Israel's Central Prison, Arab inmates are framed for the murder of a Jewish prisoner. When a young inmate commits suicide rather than cover up the truth, prisoners Uri and Issan form an unlikely alliance and lead the security wing in a strike. Nominated for the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film.

Crows

Dir.: Ayelet Menahemi
| 45 minutes

A newly restored digital copy, produced by the Israel Film Archive at the Jerusalem Cinematheque. Seventeen-year-old Maggie leaves her father and their moshav community behind and arrives in Tel Aviv. She is taken in by a commune shared by Yuval, Eli, and Daniel—three young queer people from the absolute fringes of the Tel Aviv nightlife scene. While the tensions between the three can create a deafening noise, the apartment nevertheless serves as a true home for all its residents, both permanent and temporary.

Big Girl

Dir.: Nirit Yaron
