MORE ABOUT ISRA-ALIEN

Dual Sonic Citizenship: Isra-Alien Finds Global Resonance, Guitar Grace in Israeli Roots

High-energy Balkan beats and mid-century Israeli hits. Russian lyricism and flamenco flourishes. Nylon and steel. With two guitars and a second-nature connection, Isra-Alien finds the deep ties that bind rock and jazz, Israeli music and global sounds. Powered by the masterful technique and close friendship of jazz guitarist Oren Neiman and rock guitarist Gilad Ben-Zvi, the duo’s acoustic music moves effortlessly from rootsy to refined on their second album, Somewhere is Here! (release:November 2, 2012). They find wry, Gitano-esque twists on blazing dances (“Horah Alien”) and turn klezmer songs into sensuous feats of guitar nimbleness, inspired by everything from Astor Piazzolla to the Greekbouzouki.

Meeting on a remote base during military service and then reuniting years later in New York, Ben-Zvi and Neiman found an unexpected common ground in music that grew from the complexities of their shared heritage. By finding new sounds and settings for old forms and melodies, they hint at the diverse facets of Israeli music.

“For us, it felt like a natural synthesis,” explains Gilad. “It was in music we grew up with. It was a really organic thing.”

UJA Israeli Division and the Mifgash Program are proud to invite you to an unforgettable evening of movie screening, a post-screening Q&A with the star of the Movie and a unique photo exhibition

Winner of the DocAviv Film Festival (Tel Aviv), and among the Top Ten Audience Favourites on Hot Docs 2012, Life in Stills unravels the story of Miriam Weissenstein and her grandson Ben. At the age of 96, Miriam never imagined that she would be facing a new chapter in her life. But when “The Photo House” – her late husband Rudi’s life’s work – was destined for demolition, even this opinionated and uncompromising woman knew she needed help.

Under the cloud of a family tragedy, a special relationship is forged between Miriam and her grandson, Ben, as they join forces to save the shop and its nearly one million negatives that document Israel’s defining moments in establishing itself as a new country. Despite the generation gap and many conflicts, Ben and Miriam embark on a heart-wrenching journey, comprising many humorous and touching moments – a journey that requires love, courage, and compassion. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Ben Peter.

Movie is in Hebrew with English subtitles. Q&A will be conducted in Hebrew

 The Israel Film Festival is hitting Toronto!

About the event:

Israeli cinema continues to flourish with a wide variety of films on a  vast array of topics being produced. There is no better place to see  these cinematic offerings than the Toronto Israel Film Festival.  It all started, in Montreal, eight years ago with a modest programme. It was then, at the closing night of the first Festival,  when people gathered around pleading with me: “Promise us you  will be here again next year.” It was then that I entered into an  unwritten contract with my audience. For my part: I, for as long as  I possibly can, will continue to organize this Festival, a top class festival, in my humble opinion. Your part of the contract: you continue to come to see the best in Israeli film.  Since this pact took place eight years ago, I have put my heart into the Festival and, each year, seek out the best Israeli films.  And you? Each year you fill the theatres, discuss the films and talk about the speakers. You truly provide us with the incentive to take the Festival to new heights each and every year. It is, very much, your commitment guaranteeing our return each year.  Tell your friends, your colleagues, your neighbours, about us. Tweet and blog about us. Write about us on your facebook page.
