YOSSI & JAGGER

Based on a true story, YOSSI & JAGGER portrays the love affair of two officers of the Israeli Defense Forces, positioned on the Israeli-Lebanese border. They are commanders, they are in love, and they try to find a place of their own in an oppressing and rigid system.

AMAZING GRACE

In AMAZING GRACE (Best Film, 1992 Jerusalem International Film Festival), writer/director Amos Guttman (DRIFTING 1983) examines the relationship that develops between Jonathan, an 18-year-old openly gay Israeli, and Thomas, his 30-year-old upstairs neighbor.

 

This event is part of Out In Israel - LGBT Culture Festival
Co-Sponsored by the Consulate General of Israel and Congregation Sha'ar Zahav.
