Israeli movie

Carol Kane stars in Between the Temples, a touching film about connection and transformation, exploring deep relationships and featuring a unique Israeli soundtrack.

The movie dramatizes this period of uneasy coexistence; that while the young volunteers want everything to be easy and joyful, the threat of terrorism is ever-present. 

The film is showing throughout July and August at theaters in the Lev Cinemas chain and other venues around the country.

The films illustrate the diversity and professionalism of the Israeli film industry and show that even in a time of war and tragedy, Israeli creators continue to work.

Usually, whether I like a movie or not, I can understand why the director wanted to make it, but here the reasoning eluded me.

Farewell Column, set about three years ago, tells the story of Karmi, a political columnist who has offended some very thuggish people with a column criticizing the Netanyahu government.

The idea for the film was on his mind for several years before he made it, now Green feels that its as good a time as any to release this character-driven dramatic story.

Several Sundance panels focused on Jewish and Israeli issues, as well as events held in response to the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and the Israel-Gaza war.

The Von Erichs aren’t just legends in the Lone Star state. At one time they were a super heavyweight-sized deal in the Jewish state as well.

Running on Sand, which opened all over Israel in theaters on Thursday, is exactly what the country needs right now.
