During the filming of her previous movie, director Yolande Zauberman heard a story of a young transgender woman who fled from Gazza after death threats based on her gender identity and came to Tel Aviv to live as her true self. Several years later Yolande Zauberman returns to Tel Aviv to look for her. While searching for the mysterious young woman she meets several Palestinian and Israeli trans women, some doing sex work and some other temp jobs, all of them reaching for their dreams in their own way.
The film “The Belle from Gaza” is a celebratory hymn to women who fight daily on that ever so dangerous line between Gaza and Tel Aviv just so that they could be themselves. “The Belle from Gaza” is a brave cinematic piece that puts a mirror in front of reality and offers images of struggles for self acceptance in a sad reality that is all conflict and oppression.
Two more movies by Yolande Zauberman are screened at the festival.

Antonio, 30, is married and living happily, or so he thinks, until his life collapses one day when his husband informs him it’s over, he’s in love with someone else. Antonio, who gave up his job and became a cooking-loving housekeeper, realizes that he must start his life from the beginning. He needs to find a place to live, work and a new meaning to life. He finds a room in a perfect bachelor apartment with Denis the party boy, starts working in a bakery owned by Luca, the guy from the gym, he even starts studying at a confectionery school. The new chapter in his life teaches him that independence must not be given up for the sake of a relationship.
The Italian comedy “Mascarpone” will whet your appetite for both the Italian pastries that Antonio bakes during the film and for the hot and successful cast that participates in this film.
In association with PrideTV

Aldo is a young man who is living in the same apartment building as Roman, an actor in action B-movies. Both of them are isolated in their flats since a pandemic broke out and they must adhere to the lockdown rules. They match online, talk and can even see each other via video calls, but they cannot meet in person. Eventually the urge to break the lockdown becomes too strong.
In his new film, groundbreaking director Julian Hernandez explores just how much loneliness feeds the passion and how bright does this flame burn when loneliness becomes isolation. After screening Hernandez’s previous films at the TLVFest (“Broken Sky”, “I Am Happiness on Earth” and “Bramadero”), this time he creates a world that reminds us of recent history, but also throws us into another horrible plague. This is a very passionate film about desires simmering under fear and caution.
Viewing is 18+ due to explicit sexual content.

“The Inner Truth”, led by Hila Alroi, the health correspondent of Channel 13, and directed by Liran Atzmon, sets out to examine how the transgender issue, while indeed affecting a very small percentage of the population, is at the heart of the media attention, discourse on social networks, a matter of dispute for organizations dealing with the subject (both in terms of community rights and in the struggle against its legitimacy), protests, films, and books.

לילה אחד במגדל הדירות הכמעט ריק בלונדון העכשווית, לאדם (אנדרו סקוט) יש מפגש מקרי עם שכן מסתורי בשם הארי (פול מסקל), אירוע המעורר חיים בשגרת היומיום שלו. כאשר מערכת יחסים מתפתחת ביניהם, אדם נמשך אל זיכרונות העבר ומוצא את עצמו חוזר אל עיירת הפועלים שבה גדל ולבית הילדות בו הוריו התגוררו. להפתעתו, הוריו (קלייר פוי וג’יימי בל) שנפטרו לפני זמן רב, עדיין מתגוררים בבית ונראים בדיוק כפי שנראו לפני 30 שנה.
