A burning man | Eyal Halfon

The winner of the Best Israeli Film Award at the Haifa International Film Festival, which also won Shai Avivi the Best Actor Award:
A father drives his soldier son to a remote military base, where he says goodbye and is immediately seized by a deep-seated anxiety, terrified he may never see his son again. The man, in his mid-fifties, plants himself near the camp's fence, refusing to leave as if his unwavering presence could somehow shield his son.
His own life is at a standstill, too, forcing him to confront long-avoided decisions that will set his future back in motion. As he waits, a series of unexpected visitors appear and vanish. Still, Yona Kimchi remains beneath the tree - waiting for news, or for a greeting.

StageTalk: Following the screening, a conversation with the film director Eyal Halfon
Screenplay and Director: Eyal Halfon

Freud's Last Session

What happens to the human psyche when the world no longer feels safe? Where is God during times of war?
Right before fleeing the Nazis with his daughter, and only a few weeks before his death, Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis, receives a visit from the British writer, philosopher, professor of literature, and Christian theologian C. S. Lewis (The Chronicles of Narnia). Their fictional conversation unfolds as a chamber drama, raising timely questions about the future of the world, the existence of God, human fragility, the effort to understand, the desire to believe, the fear of facing pain alone, and the possibility that even in the absence of agreement, a conversation can be a profound form of human connection. Anthony Hopkins delivers an astonishing portrayal of Freud alongside a fantastic performance by Matthew Goode.

Directed by Matthew Brown.
