Documentary film and a conversation with filmmaker Ari Davidovich at the Tapuz Theater in Petah Tikva. The screening lasts 110 minutes and focuses on the life of Shaike Ophir.
Shaike Ophir. Every Israeli knows Ophir as an entertainer, mime artist, or star of film and theater—but few truly knew the person behind his thousand faces. The film tells the complete story of a man who wanted more than anything to make people laugh and be loved, and who succeeded in reaching the pinnacle of the entertainment world in Israel and abroad, but paid a heavy personal and family price. Alongside Ophir’s brilliant career, the film turns the spotlight for the first time on the most significant women in his life, portraying—through them, additional participants, and previously unseen archival materials—a surprising personal and psychological portrait of the man who became a cultural icon.
