Film Lineup:

1:00 pm The Stronghold
Director: Lior Chefetz, 117 min, Hebrew with English subtitles, 2023
After sustaining a surprise Egyptian attack during the Yom Kippur War, a desolate Israeli outpost falls under siege. While the surviving soldiers prepare for a final, hopeless battle, the Doctor comes up with an alternative plan that may save them, but comes at a heavy price
3:30 pm Come Closer
Director: Tom Nesher, 107 min, Hebrew with English subtitles, 2024
When Eden's brother tragically dies, her grief spirals into obsession after discovering his secret girlfriend. A haunting exploration of love, loss and fixation with stunning visuals.
7:00 pm Beethoven’s Nine
Director: Larry Weinstein, 85 min, English, 2024
In early 2023, filmmaker Larry Weinstein set out to make a documentary about Beethoven's Ninth Symphony. It was supposed to be about how far we have come in the two hundred years since it was written. But when world events pull Larry into his own film, the question becomes a deeply personal one.
