Shalom,
On the announcement of last year’s inaugural
Toronto Israel Film Festival, we had some concerns.
Was there really room for another film festival in
Toronto, a city already teeming with film festivals
of every size that covered every subject? Our
apprehension was quickly laid to rest: the warm
welcome and auditoriums filled with appreciative
audiences proved that this multicultural city was
the place to host a festival that puts the spotlight
on Israel and its culture.
Last year’s success has led us to the 2nd Toronto
Israel Film Festival. Newcomers and enthusiasts,
alike, are again invited to discover and enjoy the
best of Israeli cinema.
In keeping with the first festival’s high standards,
this year’s program consists of an exceptional
variety of acclaimed films. We hope you enjoy this
celebration of Israeli filmmaking at its best.
See you at the festival.
