Ambassador Amrani's Opening Speech:
Good
evening and welcome, dobra večer I dobro došli, ערב טוב וברוכים הבאים to
the Fourth Israel Film Week in Zagreb.
As
an important part of the culture reach out effort of the Embassy of Israel to
Croatia, we take special pride in our culture schedule throughout the year in
Zagreb and many other parts and regions of the Country.
Together
with the Israel Magic Summer, the Israel Film Week has become a tradition we
aim to keep as a bridge of friendship and mutual understanding between our
countries and people.
This
year’s Film week brings together 14 Israeli movies, some of them features, some
documentaries in an effort to introduce Israel, life, dreams, challenges and
struggles at the fullest.
The
movies we are honored to introduce, few of the many made in Israel annually,
are recent releases, some have won awards in different international festivals
while some are the work of cinematography school graduates representing their
debut to the world of movies.
In
the next six days we will screen every evening and night starting at 16.00 four
Israeli movies. The Culture Department of the Embassy headed by Mrs. Mirjana Šlaj
Frolich is responsible for the selection of the movies, I am thankful for their
efforts.
In
selecting our choice for the week we looked for the unique and characteristic
of life in Israel. We have chosen movies which represent life, experience,
movies which provide not only a mirror to life but also a window to human
challenges regardless of borders, language or time.
Some
of the movies touch on the unique life experience in Israel as a young country
facing identity questions, while struggling to overcome the burden of history.
Each movie touches on a moment in life, creating a whole world of images,
dreams and hopes. We are here to share those moments in life wherever we are,
regardless our own history and background.
We
wish you a special joy as you are invited to see our life and experience
through our movies.
Enjoy,
uživajte!
