Some Notes on the Current Situation - Heb subs

1h 19m | Eran Kolirin

Israel \ 2025

‘Some Notes on the Current Situation’, is a film about space, time, and wars composed of 6 episodes. Each episode sheds light on a different and unique perspective of the existential, human, and spiritual conditions of the present era.

These episodes, though somewhat divorced from reality, come together to form an absurdist footnote to the current events in the known universe

Ponyo - Heb subs

1h 41m | Hayao Miyazaki

Japan / 2008

Anyone who doesn’t love an anime about connection, love, and innocence — where the world of the sea meets the world of humans – must have a heart of ice.

Ponyo, a small goldfish who rises from the depths of the ocean, finds herself in the human world. A five-year-old boy named Sosuke rescues her, and together they embark on a magical adventure that tests their courage and the strength of true friendship. Hayao Miyazaki’s film is a story full of imagination, love, and wonder — flowing gently between sea and land.

Drawn entirely by hand, frame by frame, without the use of computer animation, the film includes about 170,000 individual drawings, making Ponyo one of Studio Ghibli’s most impressive and beautifully crafted hand-drawn productions.

Coffee and Cigarettes

1h 35m | Jim Jarmusch

USA / 2003

Throughout his career, Jim Jarmusch created eleven short episodes in which two people meet for a conversation over coffee and cigarettes. The first featured comedian Steven Wright and filmmaker Roberto Benigni, and later came Tom Waits and Iggy Pop, the twins Joie and Cinqué Lee, and others. The topics are varied and amusing – from Elvis to Abbott and Costello – and each conversation reveals the quiet magic of the everyday. The version before us brings together all the episodes into a single film, a quintessentially Jarmuschian work that drifts between the mundane and the sublime, between boredom and curiosity, filmed in striking black and white – like a constant dialogue between coffee and smoke.

The Florida Project

1h 51m | Sean Baker

USA / 2017

Before Anora, Sean Baker brought us The Florida Project — a vibrant, pastel-colored portrait of life on the margins of Orlando. In a shabby motel near Disney World, six-year-old Moonee spends the summer chasing small adventures with her friends, while her single mother struggles to make ends meet and the motel manager (Willem Dafoe, Oscar-nominated) tries to hold everything together. Tender, funny and heartbreaking, Baker captures both the innocence of childhood and the harshness of reality with rare humanity.

The Pot Au Feu

2h 14m | Tran Anh Hung

France / 2023

One of the finest films ever made about cooking and the art of food. With stunning dish photography and recipes woven naturally into the script, this is cinema that celebrates the senses.

Eugenie, a brilliant cook who has worked for twenty years alongside Dodin, a respected and renowned chef, finds their professional partnership slowly turning into a gentle romance. As their bond deepens, Eugenie’s dishes seem to grow even more refined and surprising.

Dodin, captivated by her, decides to propose. But Eugenie, a woman devoted to her independence, refuses the idea of marriage. Dodin realizes there is only one way left to express his love: to cook, this time especially for her.

Marie Antoinette

2h 3m | Sofia Coppola

USA, France / 2006

“If they have no bread, then let them eat cake”

At just fourteen, the young Austrian Marie Antoinette is married off to King Louis XVI and thrown into the glittering, decadent world of the French royal court — a realm overflowing with intrigue, gossip, and scandal.

Lonely and unprepared, she struggles to find her place in a foreign and unforgiving environment, gradually becoming one of the most controversial and misunderstood figures in French history. Her youthful rebellion, innocence, and detachment from the politics around her turn her into both a symbol of excess and a tragic reflection of isolation. As she matures into a mother, wife, and queen, she is inevitably swept into the storm of the French Revolution.

Sofia Coppola received unprecedented permission to shoot most of Marie Antoinette inside the real Palace of Versailles, including the queen’s own historic chambers – a privilege rarely granted to any production.

To break the stiffness of a traditional period film, Coppola infused the lavish setting with modern new wave music by bands such as The Strokes and New Order, and encouraged the cast to sip pink plastic cups of champagne between takes to maintain a light, youthful energy.

The result is a sumptuous and playful film that feels like a dazzling music video — blending historical precision with pop-culture flair, and offering one of the boldest and most imaginative portrayals of royalty ever captured on screen.

Holy Spider

1h 58m | Ali Abbasi

Germany, Sweden, Denmark, France | 2022

In Persian with Hebrew subtitles

Zar Amir Ebrahimi, an exiled Iranian actress living in France, won the Best Actress Award at the Cannes Film Festival for her electrifying performance in this film, which is based on a true story.

She portrays a journalist investigating a serial killer who targets women working in the sex industry.

Ali Abbasi, a Danish director of Iranian origin, creates a dark and gripping thriller with Hitchcock inspired undertones. He uses the story to deliver a sharp critique of the patriarchy and misogyny within Iranian society and its institutions, forces that enable the killer and ultimately protect him.

The result is a chilling and compelling film that became one of the most talked about titles following its premiere at Cannes.

The Dreamer

1h 45m | Kobi Faraj, Morris Ben Mayor, Omer Shiloah

Israel / 2025

Although he spent most of his life fighting ethnic discrimination, Yosef Shiloah is best remembered by the public for his comedic roles in Bourekas films. Yet behind the clownish image that clung to him was a deep, complex,

and- courageous artist who sought to change Israeli reality. He met with Yasser Arafat in his office and fought for peace—actions that ultimately forced him to leave the country. Shiloah was also a prolific writer

of songs, poems, screenplays, and more. Through his writings and rare, personal footage filmed by his daughter, we gain insight into the inner world of a man who began supporting his family at age nine and became one of Israel’s greatest actors.

The Nightmare Before Christmas

1h 16m | Henry Selick

USA / 1993

An animated film based on characters created by Tim Burton. In a universe where each holiday is ruled by its own realm, a fateful mix-up occurs:

The leader of Halloween Town becomes convinced that he should replace Santa Claus. His macabre entourage sets out to create a new Christmas—
gloriously grotesque—where children receive dead rats and severed heads as presents.

The result is a wildly imaginative masterpiece that reaffirms Tim Burton as one of the most distinctive and important filmmakers of our time.
Black humor at its finest.

Who wants to ridw on a camel at Jaffa cinema? - Live show

2h | Ariel Bronz

The land of Israel is the pearl of the Levant: a steaming hummus swamp; sea on one side, orchards on the other, and in between dunes and camels.
The show rides the imagery of Zionism, bourgeois comfort,

and the boredom of the bohemian class, accompanied by live electronic music and disguised as a wild party in a dark bar.

“The character appears and disappears, wandering among the audience, teasing them, then retreating inward.
She creates a scenario in which racism, sexism, and homophobia become politically correct.
A clandestine cult-like atmosphere emerges, where part of the audience becomes complicit and others fall into it by accident.
It builds a sharp sense of danger, where boundaries dissolve and someone might truly get hurt.”

Lia Maoz Bergman, audience member

The Camel: Ariel Bronz
Music: Daniel Mioni, Yonatan Giron, Yam Ashkenazi

Poor Things

2h 21m | Yorgos Lanthimos

USA / 2023

A world that looks like it was lifted from children’s book illustrations becomes a surreal drama by Yorgos Lanthimos. The film earned Emma Stone an Academy Award for her unforgettable performance.

The obsessive research of Professor Godwin, who creates human–animal hybrids, brings the young Bella back to life and sets her on a journey of rediscovery — of herself and of the world.

Based on the novel by Alasdair Gray, considered one of the wildest and most innovative works in modern British literature.
