“Etgar Keret – Based on a True Story”. Day 2

Screening & Webinar Discussion with Dr. Gillian Helfield: “Etgar Keret – Based on a True Story”
Thursday, July 8, 7:30 pm

(Award-winning documentary by Stephane Haas, 2017)

Join us for a screening of the award-winning documentary Etgar Keret – Based on a True Story (Stephane Haas, 2017), followed by a discussion with Dr. Gillian Helfield.

Weaving together animation, live-action and interviews, the film takes us deep into the psyche of Keret, a son of Holocaust survivors, whose fiction explores the absurdities of daily life. The warm intimacy of Keret’s daily life, his simple apartment, the cafes of Tel Aviv and his loving relationship with his wife and son are effortlessly captured throughout. Particularly enjoyable are short animations of Keret’s most beloved stories in this quirky portrait of a generous, irreverent, and creative thinker.
