On the third anniversary of October 7, Editor-in-Chief, Ruth Marks Eglash reflects on a year at The Jerusalem Report and bids readers farewell

The Jerusalem Post attended Israel's own Oscars ceremony and interviewed some of the country's biggest stars.

Avi Nesher’s ‘Our Loves’ follows ordinary Israelis whose lives are upended by October 7, transforming a story of horror into a moving exploration of survival, love, change, and hope.

The story of the close, fraught relationship between the sisters and Avigail’s search for a better life brings to mind the phrase “falling through the cracks.”

A new comedy feature film titled 'Checkout' has already sold a quarter of a million tickets in just a few days, telling the stories of staff and customers at a fictional supermarket chain in Israel.

Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid said he withdrew from FID Marseille after boycott pressure over his planned participation in the festival.

This year’s edition will feature about 100 student short films from 20 countries, as well as Israeli competitions, master classes, industry events, special screenings, and outdoor programs.

Inspired by true events, Nesher’s film is an emotionally gripping story about the enduring strength of the human spirit and the transformative power of love in the face of the horror of October 7.

The festival will run until February 19, with screenings at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills, Regal North Hollywood, and the Fine Arts Theatre in Beverly Hills.

Filmmakers who withdrew from the culture ministry’s film awards will participate after a compromise was reached amid threats to reform the Cinema Law.
