1945
Two Orthodox Jews arrive at the village train station with mysterious boxes labeled ‘fragrances.’ The villagers fear they have come to reclaim property stolen from Jews deported during the war, and that more survivors will follow. The film explores the way in which the deportation of Jews led to profits for their non-Jewish former neighbors, interwoven with larger themes of guilt and responsibility more generally such that a “Hungarian village becomes a mirror for the failure of an entire society. |

The Testament
Yoel is conducting a double investigation: one personal, to discover secrets of his Holocaust-survivor mother’s past; and one scientific, to prove a connection between a brutal massacre of Jews and an influential Austrian family. He is trapped on one side by the villagers’ denial, and on the other by his mother's silence regarding her past. As a historian with an unshakable commitment to the truth, he decides to persevere with his investigations even at the cost of ruining his personal and professional life. |

The Women's Balcony
A close-knit congregation fractures along gender lines after a catastrophe at their synagogue, in Emil Ben Shimon’s nicely observed dramedy “The Women’s Balcony.” Borrowing from Aristophanes’ “Lysistrata,” the film shows the relationships and tensions between different groups within Orthodox Judaism in Jerusalem, and provides a cautionary (and universally understandable) tale about religious fundamentalism. |

On the Map
ON THE MAP tells the against-all-odds story of Maccabi Tel Aviv’s 1977 European Championship, which took place at a time when the Middle East was still reeling from the 1973 Yom Kippur War, the 1972 Olympic massacre at Munich, and the 1976 hijacking of an Air France flight from Tel Aviv. Through the of lens of sports, On the Map presents a much broader story of how one team captured the heart of a nation amidst domestic turmoil and the global machinations of the Cold War. |
