The 35th Israel Film Festival in Los Angeles, the largest showcase of Israeli cinema and television in North America, unspools this year both in theaters and virtually from May 5th – 26th. The Festival’s Opening Night film on May 5th is director Avi Nesher’s critically acclaimed “Image of Victory,” nominated for 15 Ophir Awards; the evening also serves to celebrate Israel’s Independence Day.
The event is set to kick off with screenings of Israeli series such as False Flag and Tehran, while The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem, the historical drama series picked up in the U.S. by Netflix, will close the festival with its American premiere.

But amid criminal investigations for bribery, fraud and breach of trust, and the Likud’s slippage in the last election, Netanyahu’s future is in doubt.
