Join us for a very special Closing Night Celebration of the 25th Israel Film Festival with THE HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER - Winner of five Israeli Academy Film Awards 2010 including Best Picture and Best Director. This film is Israel’s Oscar entry for Best Foreign Language Film 2011.

About the Film
Jerusalem’s largest bakery is making news. When one of their female employees is killed in a suicide bombing and her body remains unclaimed, they are accused of inhumanity and indifference. The HR Manager embarks on a complex journey, from Jerusalem to Frozen Romania. He finds himself leading an awkward convoy including her rebellious son, a pesky journalist, a quirky consul, an old veteran driver and a coffin. Far from home, the HR Manager rediscovers his own humanity and his ability to care for human resources.

Q&A with director Eran Riklis, producer Haim Mecklberg, and actor Mark Ivanir
