This Weekend: Brooklyn Israel Film Festival at Kane Street

This weekend check out the Brooklyn Israel Film
Festival at Kane Street Synagogue. I just got this email form the co-director of the festival.

  I thought that your readers may
want to know about this very popular festival.  We just had a huge crowd
tonight for the opening night, but there are still 2 wonderful nights left
for award-winning and thought-provoking Israeli films with discussion with film
experts including the director for Saturday night. 

·       

–On
Saturday, January 24th at 8:00PM, the festival continues with
the award-winning comic drama Noodle
with an after-film discussion with Ayelet Menahemi, Noodle’s director. 

·       

–The
festival concludes on January 25th at 7:00PM with the 2008
Israel Academy Award for Best Documentary, Children of the Sun, an eye-opening
look at the kibbutz movement with an after-film discussion with Kane Streeter
Hai Knafo, an artist and former kibbutznik.
