If you’re one of those Capetonians who loves to join the throng at the Labia Theatre for an international film festival, you may just enjoy taking advantage of the Israeli movies offered to members of our community by the South African Zionist Federation Cape Council (SAZF Cape Council). Relative to the country’s small size, Israel is a powerhouse in the world of movie-making. In fact, it’s become one of the leading suppliers of television content in the United States, and produces numerous films that enjoy significant success.
Once a month — except for this month — a movie is screened on the second Sunday of the month at 18:30. Entrance is free (but donations are gladly accepted), and movie-goers are provided with a light meal, too.
The April offering, Broken Wings, released in 2002, was rated 8/10 by IMDb, and was described as “a poignant, slice-of-life drama about an Israeli family coming to terms with the death of their father.” Viewers in Cape Town found it moving and thought-provoking, largely because it presented a very realistic view of what can happen in a family when the unexpected occurs.
