For this special event on the eve of Yom Ha’atzmaut (Israel Independence Day), Ms. Furstenburg and Mr. Aboutboul take us behind the scenes as we spotlight the evolution and expansion of Israeli film and television. In conversation with Isaac Zablocki, senior director of the Carole Zabar Center for Film at the JCC Manhattan, they’ll explore how Israel’s dynamic film and TV productions affect audiences around the world to become Israel’s leading export. In every genre, these acclaimed films and TV shows alike feature inspiring stories, cinematic brilliance, and extraordinary performances. It is no wonder they are recognized as Israel’s iconic and beloved cultural works of art.
