Private Double Feature Screening: “Where to?” and “The First Lady”

Join Ami as we proudly partner with the Chicago Festival of Israeli Cinema and StandWithUs Midwest for a double feature here in Lakeview!

The evening features the Chicago premieres of:

“Where To?”
In Berlin’s lively nights, Hassan, a Palestinian Uber driver, carries partygoers across the city’s endless streets. When Amir, a young gay Israeli discovering himself, also far from home, keeps reappearing in Hassan’s back seat, their late-night rides grow into an unexpected friendship. Between chance encounters and shared feelings, both find new ways to confront their stories.

“The First Lady”
Israeli transgender pioneer Efrat Tilma was persecuted by the police in the 1960’s for wearing a dress in the streets of Tel-Aviv. She fled to Europe on her own at seventeen, made a name for herself as a lip-sync artist, landed her dream job as a flight attendant, returned to Israel in the early 2000’s, and finally, at almost sixty years old, became the first transgender police woman in the country. Now in her seventies and a celebrated activist, Efrat must fight for her rights once again, while the country spirals into unprecedented political and social regression.

The second film will be followed by a recorded Q&A with the directors and Efrat Tilma.
