Arabic Movie

Dir. Eyal Sagui Bizawe & Sara Tsifroni

(60 min, Documentary, Israel, Hebrew & Arabic w/ English subtitles)

A look back at that old Friday afternoon ritual, when Israeli families of all backgrounds would gather to watch the week’s “Egyptian Mo9vie” on Israel’s official TV station. Arab Movie takes us back to that fleeting moment when Israelis shared the same cultural heroes as everyone else in the Middle East, even as it raises disturbing questions about their relationship to their neighbors across the border.

The Arab Movie screening is a part of the Other Israel Film Festival taking place in Manhattan from November 5th to November 12th.
