DocAviv hosts 10 days of screenings throughout Tel Aviv |
Tel Aviv’s Cinematheque is gearing up to host its annual DocAviv film festival, featuring documentaries covering everything from Elon Musk and Tesla to Iceland’s glaciers, the war in Ukraine and the backstory of Pippi Longstocking’s creator.
The festival begins May 28 and runs through June 6, with screenings at the Cinematheque as well as the Tel Aviv Museum of Art and the ZOA House, and outdoor screenings at Suzanne Dellal, Reading Park and other locations throughout the city.
The films span countries and issues, from the women of Belarus, the narratives of October 7 and the war in Gaza to menopausal myths, a clown couple, and a legendary World War II spymaster.
Among the visiting guests is British documentary filmmaker and two-time Academy Award winner Simon Chinn, who will screen his 2008 film “Man on Wire” and conduct a master class.
Another event is a panel discussion about social networks and the algorithms behind them, followed by a screening of “Molly vs the Machines,”........
