Other Israel Film Festival

This year, when peace between Israel and its neighbors might seem like an impossible dream, we highlight the stories of those who stand together for coexistence and an end to violence.

Schedule:

6:00 PM: Opening Night Reception - Lobby, Marlene Meyerson JCC in Manhattan

7:00 PM: The Other (100 min)
Opening Night: The Other
2024 | 100 minutes | Documentary
New York Premiere
Director: Joy Sela
An award-winning film that explores the complex relationship between Palestinians & Israelis and the transformative journey when faced with meeting the other. It offers an inside look at the people behind the headlines who have grown up with contradictory narratives and have only known each other through hate, inequality, and violence. As people on both sides of the conflict meet with “the other,” they reckon with the trauma and fear that they’ve inherited—and hope to transcend.
