6 award-winning films have been selected for this year's festival, with Sundance winner Restoration being the opening film, as well as the showcasing of Oscar nominee Footnote. Women in Israeli cinema are also given a spotlight with three women-centric films in My Lovely Sister, a poignant melodrama about sibling rivalry and reconciliation, Jellyfish, the story of three very different Tel Aviv women whose intersecting stories weave an unlikely portrait of modern Israeli life, and The Secrets, which tells the story of two brilliant young women who discover their own voices in a repressive orthodox culture. Last but not least, there's Intimate Grammar, an adaptation of the acclaimed novel “The Book of Intimate Grammar” by David Grossman.
Gracing this year's edition of the festival will be Restoration’s screenwriter, Erez Kavel - Winner of the screenplay award at Sundance world cinema competition (2011) as well as the Crystal globe at Karlovy Vary Film Festival (2011).
