We are thrilled to announce two of our festival highlights! So without further adieu, were excited to be bringing you The Farewell Party and Gett, the Trial of Viviane Amsalem as part of our JIFF program this year. THE FAREWELL PARTY The Farewell Party directed by Sharon Maymon and Tal Granit, was nominated for the most Ophir Awards (Israel’s Oscars) in 2014 including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Screenplay. The film has also just premiered at this years Venice Film Festival. Following rave reviews at Venice the film will also screen at the Toronto International Film Festival beginning this week.
