What's happening at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque?

Among the events will be an interview with Ari Folman, the director of Waltz with Bashir and Where is Anne Frank, who will sit down with the creators of the Movie Eaters podcast to discuss his work.

Actors, including Alona Saár and Moni Moshonov, will share stories of their worst auditions. There will be a discussion of cancel culture and Alfred Hitchcock’s work, and much more.
