Festival

The festival's closing ceremony will launch Negba, a new incubator for young southern filmmakers.

More than three years of war have reshaped the country, but few candidates are offering a vision for relations with the Palestinians, let alone a path toward resolving the conflict. 

Special events this year will include a 35-mm. screening of "Bound" and a screening of the beloved cult classic "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."

Western Negev's Lev Koter festival features workshops, shows, and artist encounters across local kibbutzim and natural sites on September 17-18.

At Confederation House, the poetry festival operates under the theme “Poets Are Called Alive in Death.” The event utilizes the traditional sukkah as a metaphor for an inner artistic sanctuary.

The disruption was promoted online by pro-Palestinian activist Jagbir Ghankas, also known as jagpile on Instagram, who filmed himself and fellow activists walking through the event.

With one week left of summer break, explore the best free and budget-friendly events, parks, and outdoor screenings across Israel for the final stretch.

If your idea of poetry is a neatly rhyming ditty, attending the festival should thoroughly disabuse you of that constricted notion and open up broad new vistas for your literary epiphany enjoyment.

This month, the High Negev's Cool Summer Nights festival offers moonlit hikes, night photography, farm and khan stays, and meetings with local desert residents.

Osher Cohen and Noam Kleinstein opened the northern festival as Itay Levi performed in Merom Hagalil. Dozens of events will take place over 3 weeks.
