Film Screening: The Band's Visit
Join the Judaic Studies department for a film screening of "The Bands Visit," a 2007 comedy-drama that won eight Ophir Prizes awarded by the Israeli Film Academy. The film is about a band of the Egyptian police force heading to Israel to play at the inaugural ceremony of an Arab arts center, only to find themselves lost in the wrong town. It has been described as both a clever, subtle, slice-of-life comedy, and poignant cross-cultural exploration. Following the film there will be a short faculty-led discussion. This event is free and open to the public. There will also be popcorn! If you are a person with a disability who requires an accommodation to attend this event, please contact judaicstudies@umich.edu or 734-763-9047 in advance of this event.
