SUMMARY:MGSDII Filmmaker Premiers at San Diego LGBTQ Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Past MGSDII Visiting Professor and award-winning Filmmaker\, Nitzan Gilady debuts his latest film\, In Bed (Keilu Ein Mahar)\, at the 23rd Annual San Diego LGBTQ Film Festival\, presented by FilmOut San Diego. \nGilady is director/producer of Wedding Doll and the documentary films\, Jerusalem Is Proud To Present\, In Satmar Custody\, and The Last Enemy. His films have received 13 international awards and participated in over 120 international film festivals. \nAbout the Film:\nSet in Tel Aviv over a hallucinatory 24 hours\, two friends\, Guy and Joy\, are taking part in the city’s LGBTQ+ Pride Parade celebrations. Prepared for a night of hookups\, drugs and dancing\, their fun is suddenly cut short when a violent shooting sends everyone in the crowd running for safety. In their rush to get home\, Guy and Joy pick up Dan\, a fellow parade attendee\, and bring him back to Guy’s apartment as a manhunt for the shooter creates mayhem outside. Back in Guy’s apartment\, however\, the three are determined to still have a good time. Still in shock and with plenty of drugs at their disposal\, a dark\, sex-fueled odyssey begins. As the drugs continue to distort his perception\, a paranoid and strung-out Guy discovers the line between intimacy and violence are getting dangerously blurred. Gilady’s erotic gay thriller takes an unflinching look at party culture with a fast-paced electronic soundtrack by Offer Nissim and immersive cinematography. \nTickets can be purchased here. \nAbout the Filmmaker:\nNitzan is a graduate of the high art school “Thelma Yelin” (Israel) and the Academy of arts “Circle in the Square” (New York).

SUMMARY:"Golda" Virtual Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Watch Golda\, then join the film’s creators\, Udi Nir and Sagi Bornstein\, and scholar Pnina Lahav\, for an in-depth discussion about the iconic politician Golda Meir\, Israel’s fifth Prime Minister\, and the making of this illuminating new documentary. Lahav is the author of the upcoming biography Golda Meir: Through the Gender Lens and Professor of Law at Boston University. The event will be moderated by Professor Dov Waxman\, director of the UCLA Y&S Nazarian Center for Israel Studies. \nThe event has reached capacity. Please email Mitchell Price at mitchell@mgsdii.org to be added to the waitlist. \nGolda Synopsis: \nShortly before her passing\, Golda Meir was interviewed for Israeli television. After shooting ended\, the cameras kept rolling\, recording an intimate talk with the first and only woman to ever rule Israel. As she lit one cigarette after the other\, Golda spoke freely about her term as Prime Minister – five turbulent years that secured her place in history\, albeit at a high personal cost. \nBased on these never-before seen materials\, testimonies of supporters and opponents and rare archival footage\, Golda tells the story of Meir’s dramatic premiership – from her surprising rise to power to her iconic international stature as “queen of the Jewish people.”
