Run Boy Run
Sponsored by WNIT
Polish, German, Russian and Yiddish with English subtitles

Escaping the Warsaw ghetto at the behest of his father, nine-year old Srulik (movingly portrayed by twin child actors Andrzej and Kamil Tkacz) flees to the woods. There, he learns to hide from SS patrols and scour for food, until loneliness and the harsh onset of winter drive him back to civilization. Taken in by a kindhearted farmer's wife (Elisabeth Duda), he is given shelter and a new identity as a Christian war orphan. An unforgettable cinematic experience, Run Boy Run is directed by Oscar-winner Pepe Danquart and based on the best-selling novel by Israeli author Uri Orlev.

Zero Motivation

Hebrew with English Subtitles
A smash hit in Israel, Zero Motivation is a unique, sharply observed portrait of everyday life for a unit of young, female soldiers in a remote desert outpost. Playing out like M*A*S*H meets Orange is the New Black, Talya Lavie's directorial debut details the power struggles of three women. Best friends Zohar (Dana Ivgy) and Daffi (Nelly Tagar) spend their time playing video games, singing pop songs, jousting with stationery and dreaming of Tel Aviv. They are watched over by their aspiring senior officer, Rama (Shani Klein), who dreams of a higher position and a significant military career.
