We are looking forward to some amazing films from women directors.

The first of these is the UK premiere of Wedding Song (Le Chant des Mariees). Following the success of Karin Albou’s award winning debut Le Petite Jerusalem this much anticipated film is a richly sensual portrait of friendship between two inseparable sixteen year old girls, one Jewish and the other Muslim, in Nazi occupied Tunis.

Surrogate, Dir. Tali Shalom Ezer, 2008

The second is Tali Shalom Ezer’s Surrogate. Ezer has described her work as intimate dramas, in which she examines relationships with a forensic eye. In Surrogate Eli si desperate to overcome his relationship problems, and begins treatment with Hagar, a warm charismatic sex therapist in this subtle, mature dissection of human frailty and interdependence.

Surrogate will be screening with Grown Up a short film from Dana Neuberg: In the confusing time between chi8ldhood and adolescence, fifteen year old Shira discovers the world of sexuality, jealousy and seduction.
