Alma Ha'rel, the Israeli director of the documentary film "Bombay Beach," was awarded first place -- and $25,000 -- in the documentary feature film category at New York's Tribeca Film Festival.
Ha'rel was not the only Israeli honored at Tribeca - Dor Fadlon, a recent graduate student of Tel Aviv University and resident of Ramat Gan, earned a special mention for his short film "Eva - Working Title."
