A Tale of Four Minorities
CANCELLED! To be rescheduled.
In the fall of 2019, Filmmaker David Deri-Barkai began documenting four families, parents and their children – his secular gay family in Tel Aviv, a Jewish Ultra-Orthodox family in Beit Shemesh, a Muslim family in Taibeh and a Jewish Religious family in the Ofra settlement (West Bank). The pandemic that broke out a few months later, along with the lock-downs, fears and social unrest that followed, created unprecedented family and national pressure. While for some, their belief is a source of strength, others confront doubts, and rifts are deepening—but a fascinating dialogue and surprising alliances are created.
WHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: A film that could hardly be more timely as Israel struggles with its identity and what that will be in the future.
BONUS PROGRAMMING: CANCELLED: Director David Deri is expected to be at the festival to present the film and conduct a Q&A. Deri is an important Israeli director, writer, and producer and is well known in Israel, especially for his work in TV.

Due to an illness in David Deri’s family this event has been cancelled in the festival and will be rescheduled for late January or early February 2024 when Deri can travel. In the meantime, we have scheduled a showing of My Daughter My Love, the new drama starring Sasson Gabbai in its place. This film has its US Premiere in our festival.
