Vertigo Dance at Jacob's Pillow
Vertigo Dance Company is one of Israel's top contemporary dance troupes. The company makes its Jacob's Pillow Dance Festival debut with Mana, choreographed by founder Adi Wertheim. Mana, which refers to a vessel of light described in the mystical text the Zohar, is full of beautifully theatrical metaphor and the athleticism that is a signature of great contemporary dance from Israel. An eclectic score by Ran Bagno incorporates waltz, jazz, and klezmer-influenced music, while dramatic sets and costume designs transport the audience to a faraway world of shadow, light, and inspiration.

Gadi Tsafrir, 0:0 (Teko Efes) - Kicking + Screening Soccer Film Festival
A tragic-comedy revolving around the classic triangle of 'teenagers-parents-football referees'. Udi, a quirky, overweight teenager, sets out on a quest to burst out of his suburban wasteland existence and become a superstar sports journalist. The 'not so proud' son of 'Hapoel Petach Tikva Football Club' most avid fan, Udi thinks he's got the perfect topic for his first report. His simple trip to stardom takes a surprising turn when he encounters his father's arch nemesis. A totally independent, wonderfully shot, bizarrely cast, funny and moving short film from Israel, with an unique authentic feel that should appeal to anyone who loves football (soccer) and/or has parents.
