The 21st Israeli Film Festival gets underway Saturday March 4 with the debut of Mr Predictable.  The movie tells the story of a man who thinks he is dying so radically changes his outlook on the last days he has to live.

This season, which runs through April 2nd, promises to be the best ever with a offering for children, a documentary with a never before seen interview with Prime Minister David Ben Gurion, and the latest movie from Nancy Speilberg 'On the Map" about the 1977 Maccabi basketball team that took on the heavily favored Russians and won!
