Acre (Akko), a mixed Arab-Jewish town, is one of the leading places in Israel for crime rate and unemployment. During the second Lebanon war, when the town was the target of tens of Katyusha rocket barrages, most of its wealthier citizens fled to a safer place. Those who had no other choice stayed in shelters underground.

The movie was filmed in the Acre shelters during this month of heavy rocket fire. It follows a number of characters that fight a personal war of survival in order to maintain basic human dignity. Documenting a, “war inside a war,” this movie accentuates the social and economic gaps that exist in Israeli society by giving a voice to the weak population that was forced to stay in the rocket inferno.

After the screening, you are invited to participate in a talk with the film director Yossi Rabach.

Ever since its premiere in 1836, Bournonville’s ballet “La Sylphide” has been a popular favorite in Denmark, and since the Fifties around the world. It also represents a key moment in classical dancing and the Romantic Revolution. The evening includes a talk on the work, its background and “foreground”, and a screening of the Royal Danish Ballet’s production, with Lis Jeppesen, Nikolaj Huebbe and Sorella Englund in the principle roles.

(1988, 62 min).

Alfred Gallery, Tel Aviv and Barbur Gallery, Jerusalem are pleased to invite you to “The Ladder” - an exhibition by the artist Guy Briller

The exhibition is the first collaboration between the two galleries. Simultaneously, a live video feed will be broadcast from the installations to Gallery T.W.S in Shibuya, Tokyo

Guy Briller is carrying out a sequence of street actions over the days between the New Year (Rosh HaShana) and Yom Kippur in both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Out of these actions he will create video installations in the two galleries.

The split exhibition comprises two sides of one reality. Briller points out the social and cultural gaps through high-tech and low-tech video installations.

Barbur and Alfred are independent artist-run galleries, a quality which is essential to creating an art project of this kind.

The exhibition will be accompanied by the blog: http://ha-sulam.blogspot.com

We will celebrate the end of the shmita year and prepare the garden for planting that will take place during hol hamo’ed Sukkot, October 16 (details to follow.)

During 1st WW, two French officers are captured. Captain De Boeldieu is an aristocrat while Lieutenant Marechal was a mechanic in civilian life. They meet other prisoners from various backgrounds, as Rosenthal, son of wealthy Jewish bankers. They are separated from Rosenthal before managing to escape. A few months later, they meet again in a fortress commanded by the aristocrat Van Rauffenstein. De Boeldieu strikes up a friendship with him but Marechal and Rosenthal still want to escape…

In Grand Illusion, director Jean Renoir uses the First World War (1914–1918) as a lens through which to examine Europe as it faces the rising spectre of fascism (especially in Nazi Germany) and the impending approach of the Second World War (1939–1945). Renoir’s critique of contemporary politics and ideology celebrates the universal humanity that transcends national and racial boundaries and radical nationalism, suggesting that mankind’s common experiences should prevail above political division, and its extension: war.
