FILM FEST is a monthly showing of award-winning, first-run independent and foreign films from film festivals all over the world.
SYNOPSIS
Jara is a shy and lonely 35 year-old man who works as a supermarket security guard in a suburb of Montevideo. It’s his job to keep an eye on the security cameras installed throughout the building, but he doesn’t have a great deal to do because he works the graveyard shift when the store is like a ghost town. And so his life continues—until one day Jara discovers Julia, a 25-year-old cleaning woman, through one of the cameras and is immediately attracted to her. At first he spends hour after hour in front of the security monitors watching her, but, before long, he begins to follow her after work: to
the cinema, the beach and even on a date with another man. Jara’s life becomes a series of routines and rituals around Julia, but eventually he finds himself at a crossroad and must decide whether to give up his obsession or confront it.

WINNER – Best First Feature Film, Grand Jury Prize Silver Bear Alfred Bauer Prize – Berlin International Film Festival

Film Fest: For My Father (Hebrew with subtitles 2008, 100 min.)

| |

SYNOPSIS
Tarek, a Palestinian forced on a suicide mission in Tel Aviv to redeem his father’s honor, is given a second chance when the fuse on his explosive vest fails to detonate. Forced to spend the weekend in Tel Aviv awaiting its repair, Tarek must live amongst the people he was planning to kill. To his surprise he connects with several Israelis on the outskirts of society, including the beautiful Keren, who has cut off contact with her Orthodox family and upbringing. With nothing to lose, Tarek and Keren open up to one another, and an unlikely love blooms between two isolated and damaged individuals raised to be enemies.
However, with the deadly load of explosives still strapped to him, he must spend 48 hours in the city, caught between the men that sent him—who can blow up his bomb remotely--, the Israeli police patrolling the streets and his new-found companions. Spending this time with Keren and his new friends, Tarek discovers the spark of life returning to fill his soul, and when the weekend ends, Tarek must make the decision of his life.
