Carole Zabar’s founding vision was a film festival showing the “Other Israel” – minorities, women, Palestinians not part of the Zionist dream or Israel propaganda.
Another departure for the OIFF, “Kings of Capital Hill” documents the power of AIPAC (American Israel Public Affairs Committee), the Israel lobby.
The OIFF site includes the NIF (New Israel Fund) action guide for each film and the festival’s sponsors are numerous.
To support life as we knew it pre-Covid, renting “Mayor” from Film Forum helps keep a beloved temple of movies alive.
