Documenting Israel

Israel is a country of many complexities and cultures. In an effort to promote Israel's ethnic diversity and bring a little bit of its rich history and culture to New York City, The Other Israel Film Festival (Nov. 11-21) -- in partnership with the Israel Film Center and the JCC of Manhattan -- will screen a series of Israeli documentary films accompanied by panel discussions starting tomorrow.

The films spotlight minority populations in Israel with a particular focus on Arab citizens, and delve into issues of identity, family relations, nomadic living, and refugee status.

Tickets are $11. Festival pass which admit guests to five screenings are $36.
