COMMUNITY FEATURE Israeli cinema comes to Columbus ft'j»y^,y&<fci»>^a ^y%Mi •riMHMIWaMWttlllllM By Bobbie Shkolnik % Beginning Oct. 16, and continuing the following three weeks, Israeli cinema will bring to Columbus' theaters four films. "Israeli-directed, in Hebrew and English subtitles, the films provide insights into Israel's history, its society, its joys and sorrows, and the challenges to the country's existence," stated Lee Tavill, Film Festival co-chair. "Each of these • carefully chosen films provides a window into Israeli society and triggers many questions," continued Raleigh Hahn, Film Festival co-chair. Three of the four films will be shown on Sundays at 7:30 p.m. at the Drexel Theater, 2254 E. Main St., while the fourth will be shown at the Wexner Center on The Ohio State University Campus at 15th and High Streets. The first film to be shown, Oct. 16, is The Summer of Aviya. It is the story of one summer in the life of a ten- year-old girl, the daughter of a Holocaust survivor,- during the first years of Israel's independence. The story is a personal one based on the life of Gila Almagor, one of Israel's best known actors, who is also writer, producer and star of the film. Aviya's mother had been a partisan fighter during the war, with a number ta- tooed on her arm; she walked the thin line between sanity and madness. Aviya had lived in orphanages most of her life; this was the summer she would return home. A discussion on coping with Holocaust memories will follow in the adjacent Bexley City Hall chambers. On Oct. 22i Amazing Grace, an award-winning film portraying the reality of AIDS in Israeli society will be shown. This dramatic feature set in modern Israel, offers a glimpse into the world of two . men, Jonathan and Thomas, as they confront the power of love that appears meager in the face of Thomas' overwhelming fear of death. The film was an International Film Festival prize winner and also won the Wolgin Prize for Best Israeli Feature Film at the Jerusalem International Film Festival. Following the movie there will be a discussion led by visiting lecturer Rabbi Marc Blu- menthal of Los Angeles, who writes and teaches on Judaism's approach to AIDS/HIV/ bi-sexual issues. In addition, there will be a display on AIDS in Israel and ways to contact the AIDS Society. Fictitious Marriage, the story of a Jerusalemite high school teacher going through a mid-life crisis, will be the final film shown at the Drexel on Oct. 30. Eldad Ilan leaves his family, ostensibly for a trip to New York, but never boards the plane. Instead, he travels to Tel Aviv where he takes a hotel room in order to ponder his life. In a nearby park, he is mistaken for an Arab laborer and is asked to join an Arab work force on a construction job. This film, which is both piercing and humorous, is a powerful study of contemporary Israel. A discussion on fiction and reality in Israel society will follow. Black to the Promised Land is the final film in the series and swill be shown at the Wexner Center on Ohio State's campus at 15th Avenue and High Street, on Thursday, Nov. 3, at 7:30 p.m. It is the story of 11 black American teenagers, who, with their Jewish teacher, travel from their homes in one of New York's toughest neighborhoods to Israel where they spend several months living and working on a kibbutz. This film portrays the unfolding of.their Israeli experience. A special presentation by black students from Wilber- force University, who traveled as volunteers to work on a project in Israel, will be given after the move. The program will be moderated by Dr. Marshall Stevenson, assistant professor of history at O.S.U., specializing in Black Jewish relations in America. Cost for the "Second Israel Film Festival" series is: $18 for the entire series,'$15 for students; $15 for three tickets (Drexel films only); individual tickets are $5.75 at the door, student tickets are $4 at the door. The entire series only (four tickets each or three tickets each) may be ordered in advance by sending a check made payable to the Columbus Jewish Federation, 1175 College Ave., Columbus, Ohio 43209. Tickets should be ordered early as seating is limited. Teenagers are invited and encouraged to attend the first and last films.

Dividing water resources obstacle to reaching ' agreement with Jordan ALLENBY BRIDGE, West Bank (AP) —- How to divvy up scarce water resources is the main obstacle to reaching an overall peace treaty with Jordan, not territorial disputes, an Israeli government official said last week. King Hussein has not yet approved a draft peace agreement proposed, by Israel for resolving conflicts over water and territory and continues to demand seven percent of Israel's current water use, the newspaper Haaretz said Sept. 28. An Israeli government official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that water was the main obstacle to signing a peace treaty, not territorial issues. seeWaVTBRpg. 8 I'l I i •) J *, Hm ?r---i cr;, ' r ^. i.i>. , . f ■ t ,;, L a.
