February 14, 2015 @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
$6 – $10
Dancing Arabs – 105 min. Chosen to Open 2014Jerusalem Film Festival
Author and screenwriter Sayed Kashua has won almost every Israeli award for his journalism, hit Israeli television comedy, “Arab Labor” and his novels. He has planned 2 lectures in Louisville on Feb. 12 and Feb. 13.
The film is a bittersweet coming-of-age story about a young Arab in Israel who struggles to find his place and identity while making necessary compromises. It is based on Kashua’s early life, first as a child in the Arab village of Tira and then as a troubled scholarship student in one of Israel’s most elite boarding schools. This is one of director Eran Riklis’ best films.
