With Q&A with Etgar Keret
(Israel, 2007, dir. Shira Geffen and Etgar Keret, 78 minutes, Hebrew with English subtitles)
We are delighted to host hit Israeli writer and film maker Etgar Keret, who will present his film Jellyfish and hold a Q&A after the screening.
In modern-day Tel Aviv three women’s lives intersect for a moment at a wedding. Jellyfish is a remarkable film that weaves these three stories together with visual poetry, magical moments and a humorous sense of melancholy. All of the characters in the film struggle with disappointments of varying degree in a universe that is random yet tantalisingly tinged with meaning and promises of human connection. This break-through collaboration by writer/directors Etgar Keret (author of The Bus Driver Who Wanted to Be God) and Shira Geffen is filled with memorable characters and stunning visual tableaux that linger in the memory long after the lights come up.
Winner of the Camera d’Or at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival
The screening time will allow you to attend the Jewish Book Week discussion ‘Extremely Bad and Incredibly Cruel’ with Etgar Keret and Jonathan Safran Foer at 7pm at Royal National Hotel, 38-51 Bedford Way, London, WC1H 0DG (Ticket price: £10).
