Army of Lovers in the Holy Land

A new documentary about the life of Nobel Prize winning American author, Saul Bellow. The film combines interviews with Philip Roth, Martin Amis, and others, and presents rare footage of Bellow in Jerusalem and at Mishkenot Sha’ananim.

"The Hebrew Superhero" is a cinematic journey into the world of Israeli comics, directed by Shaul Betzer. The film explores the image of the Israeli hero and Israeli identity - from Uri Muri, the first Israeli comics hero created in 1936 by Aryeh Navon and Leah Goldberg, to modern-day heroes, such as Dudu Geva's giant yellow duck and characters by Shay Charka and Daniella London Dekel, among others. Israeli comics, which had long been on the sidelines of the country's culture, have become gradually more popular. They have also grown increasingly important in shedding light on the complexities and contradictions of Israeli identity.
