Screening of Israel’s Most CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED Film of 2024: COME CLOSER
ABOUT THIS EVENT
Join the Chicago Festival of Israeli Cinema for our 20th Anniversary as we screen Come Closer, which was Israel’s official submission to THE OSCARS for BEST INTERNATIONAL FEATURE FILM! To celebrate our milestone anniversary, this screening includes an exclusive introduction and interview with the film’s director TOM NESHER!
“The 2024 winner of the Ophir Award (Israeli Academy Award) for Best Picture [and Best Director], and Israel’s entry to the 2025 [Hollywood] Academy Awards, this semi-autobiographical debut by Ms. Nesher is visually stunning. When Eden’s brother tragically dies, her grief spirals into obsession after discovering his secret girlfriend.”
Our March 26th screening is our special CITY SCREENING EVENT! Join us at FACETS for a night filled with film and community.
