(2012, 96 min)
Dir. Michael Mayer
Tuesday 5th November, 19:30, Odeon Swiss cottage, 96 Finchley Road, London, 0871 224 4007
“COMPELLING AND INTIMATE… PULSES WITH URGENCY, LONGING AND RAW FEELING” Hollywood Reporter
OFFICIAL SELECTION – Tribeca Film Festival 2012
Fast-paced and tender love story turns action thriller in this gripping debut feature from director Michael Mayer.
Handsome Jewish lawyer Roy Schaefer meets equally cute Palestinian psychology student Nimr Mashrawi at a Tel Aviv nightclub and the two fall for each other straight away.
But Nimr’s family don’t know about his secret life which is threatening to destroy their family’s ‘honour’, not to mention suspicions in the village that their son is an Israeli collaborator. What starts out as a simple romance takes on a dark and far more sinister direction. An engrossing watch with superbly understated performances from Michael Aloni and Nicholas Jacob as the central characters.
Contains scenes of a sexually explicit nature

"SNAILS IN THE RAIN" - http://www.odeon.co.uk/films/UKJFF_Snails_In_The_Rain/14814/#showtimes
(2013, 82 min, UK premiere)
Dir. Yariv Mozer
Thursday 14th November, 19:30, Odeon Swiss cottage, 96 Finchley Road,
London, 0871 224 4007
Linguistics student Boaz is used to receiving plenty of attention from the girls but this time it’s anonymous, obsessive and from another man. A flood of love letters unlocks disturbing memories for Boaz whose own sexual identity suddenly seems less than secure.
Director Mozer brings his documentary eye for detail to bear on this well-paced drama, teasing out the ambiguities and sexual tensions of day to day fleeting glances and casual conversations.
Based on a short story from the book The Garden of Dead Trees (Zmorah Bitan 1995) by Yossi Avni Levy.
Contains scenes of a sexually explicit nature
Screening with:

“WATCHING CUPCAKES IS LIKE TAKING AN EXTRAVAGANT 90-MINUTE VACATION FROM REALITY, AND WHO COULDN’T USE A VACATION THESE DAYS?” Jerusalem Post
Award-winning filmmaker Eytan Fox (Yossi & Jagger, Walk On Water) returns with a stylized, gossamer-light musical comedy about life, love and friendship.
When heartbroken Tel Aviv baker Anat gets together with her friends to watch a Eurovision-style song contest, the catchy tune they write to cheer her up unexpectedly ends up as Israel’s entry for the contest! But will the good-natured friends survive the cut-throat world of the pop business? With feelgood music
by Babydaddy (Scissor Sisters), technicolor styling à la Almodóvar and an unashamedly entertaining storyline that could have come from Friends, this hit musical comedy is the guiltiest pleasure of the year.
