About The Event
Join BHC for a screening of Seven Blessings at JIFF this year.
Sunday 24 November at 4:15 pm at Classic Cinemas in Elsternwick. $25 per ticket. Ticket collection at the cinema from 4pm. The movie is part of the Jewish International Film Festival.
In early-90s Jerusalem, a boisterous multicultural family celebrates the union of a Moroccan-Jewish bride and French-Ashkenazi groom, infusing the occasion with joy, laughter, and a sharing of language and tradition. Yet, as the Seven Blessings — a week of festive meals honouring the newlyweds — unfolds, the facade cracks, exposing festering secrets and deep-seated wounds rooted in ancient tradition.
Inspired by true events, Ayelet Menahemi’s enthralling drama about culture and forgiveness amid clashing interpretations of shared memories swept the Israeli Oscars, winning 10 prizes including Best Film, and became Israel’s official entry to the 2024 Academy Awards.
