Join us for a selection from the 16th Annual Israeli & Jewish Film Festival. Running on Sand (2023; 108 mins.) is an award-winning film from Israel by Adar Shafran. It tells the story of Aumari, an Eritrean refugee living in Israel who is about to be deported back to his home country and is mistaken for a famed striker. Despite his lack of soccer talent, Aumari helps heal the divisions of his struggling team while a tender bond with the strictly-business daughter of the team owner forms. In Hebrew with English subtitles.
NOTICE: The film screening originally scheduled for Sun, Jan 12 has been rescheduled to Sun, Feb 2.
