Perfect Days | Wim Wenders

The new film by cinematographer Wim Wenders ("Paris, Texas", "Wings of Desire" and "Pina") is a smart, beautiful and moving drama that takes the small and simple moments of life and shows them to us at the peak of their beauty. 

The film, which takes place in the spectacular streets and parks of Tokyo, was screened as part of the official competition at the Cannes Film Festival and won the Best Actor award and much audience acclaim. 

 

Hirayama lives a simple life and seems content with it. He works as a cleaner and has a regular, orderly daily routine. He enjoys reading books, photographing trees and listening to music, mainly from the 80s, still on an old tape deck. When his young niece arrives on his doorstep, the routine of his life suddenly changes and a special bond is forged between the two, forcing Hirayama to deal with things he thought he left behind.

Through cinematic wanderings in museum halls and insights from top historians, curators, and art critics, these films draw viewers into a captivating journey into the lives and works of some of the greatest artists in history.

 

The Kiss by Gustav Klimt is one of the most recognized and reproduced paintings in the world. It is perhaps the most popular poster on student dorm walls from Beijing to Boston.

But just what lies behind the appeal of the painting – and just who was the artist who created it?  Delving into the details of real gold, decorative designs, symbolism and simmering erotica, a close study of the painting takes us to the remarkable turn of the century Vienna when a new world was battling with the old. Klimt was a titan of the Art Nouveau movement, creating decadent new worlds which merged tender sensuality, ancient mythology and radical modernity. Discover the scandalous life and the rich tapestry of extraordinary influences behind one of the world’s favorite paintings in this powerful, gripping and passionate film. Uncover Klimt’s scandalous life, his Art Nouveau brilliance, and the rich influences behind this unforgettable

Premiere screening: A burning man | Eyal Halfon

Winner of the Best Israeli Film Award at the Haifa International Film Festival, for which Shai Avivi also won Best Actor:


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.
