Sisterhood (Virtual) Film Festival

Film Discussions at 4 pm on Select Sundays

PLEASE NOTE: January 11 date has been rescheduled for January 18 at 4:00 pm, as Emanuel Cohn will be observing Shloshim for his father on January 11.
Arthur Cohn, described by Emanuel as a man who loved to help people and make them happy, was an independent film producer and a six-time Academy Award winner, most recently living in Jerusalem.

Welcome to our mini film festival!

This time we are offering FOUR Israeli films — one each in November, December, January and February — each to be viewed at your leisure.

Then we will come together on Zoom to discuss the featured film with our host, Emanuel Cohn, an Israeli film lecturer, actor and screenwriter, who has successfully led our series in previous years — as well as many others to his longtime devotees around the world.

The discussion will include peeks behind the scenes and in-depth conversation as we explore the relationship between history, culture and identity in each film.

A link will be sent to you to watch the film, a week before the appointed date, together with a second link to join the Sunday discussion on Zoom.

All four films: $40 | Individual films: $15
