The Pelham Picture House presents a critically acclaimed Israeli documentary, 77 Steps, by filmmaker Ibtisam Mara'ana.
The event will begin with a complimentary wine reception at 7 p.m. followed by the screening. The audience will have the opportunity to discuss the film with Ms. Mara’ana, post screening.
Film synopsis: "A politically charged self-portrait from acclaimed documentary filmmaker Ibtisam Mara'ana, 77 Steps centers on Mara'ana's relationship with Jonathan, a Canadian-born Jewish immigrant. Against the backdrop of increasing Israeli and Palestinian hostilities, Mara'ana trains her camera inward, capturing her personal struggle as she attempts to reconcile her Muslim heritage with her current life in Tel Aviv. Equal parts intimate love story and wide-reaching social commentary, 77 Steps is more than just a compelling study of one couple's quest towards mutual understanding: it¹s a tense meditation on one of the world's most heated political quagmires."
77 Steps is presented in partnership with The 5th Annual Other Israel Film Festival.
