Own Death

Two films by Peter Forgach will be in competition at Israel's most prestigious festival, being organised for the 25th time. The first is a feature-length documentary "I am Von Hoefler" about the generations of a Hungarian leather-maker dynasty, using footage filmed by the family itself. The other is "Own Death" based on a novel by contemporary Hungarian writer Peter Nadas.

 
Milky Way

The third movie is the award-winning silent picture "Milky Way" by Benedek Fliegauf, who describes it as a "peculiar nature film, where instead of giraffes and penguins we see humans".

 
The festival will run until July 19.
