BEST FOREIGN LANGUAGE FILM, Academy Award Nominee
Winner of 5 Israeli Oscars, including Best Picture, Ajami offers a tragic portrait of life in the city of Jaffa. While reflecting on much larger issues, the film's focus is on the characters - played by non-actors and created with understanding by two Israeli directors: an Arab and a Jew. One critic said, "It manages to open the eyes of those who thought their eyes were already open." 

Directors Yaaron Shanti and Scandar Copti.  120 mins, Arabic, Hebrew w/ English subtitles
