Actor, director, screenwriter and creator who was one of the sharpest and most complex voices in Israeli cinema.

17 November 2026 – The Golden Age in Cinema
A 100-year-old man who runs away from home; two elderly women revealed to be lovable murderers; an old man who refuses to come to terms with his age while his wife meticulously plans her funeral; a moving choir of senior citizens crossing the world with rock ’n’ roll; a Swedish culinary celebration by retirees; and a woman in an endless corridor—all in the exciting, frustrating and challenging third age. A moving, funny and hopeful cinematic encounter.
