Middle eastern delights

The Israel Film Festival celebrates its silver jubilee this year in Singapore with 16 features that include new releases, documentaries and classics, as well as a Ronit Elkabetz retrospective.

The latter is an actress and filmmaker who passed away last year. She is known for her works in both Israeli and French Cinema, and won three Ophir Awards (Israel's equivalent of the Oscars) in her career.

The festival is currently running at The Projector until Sept 3, before moving to The Arts House from Sept 8-10.
