Two drag queens in quirly center of Tel Aviv. The Arab is never questioned by the police as he has a light teint. The Jew keeps being arrested because he's dark. Both, however, are full of queer joy.
- Florentene
-
Seen seven years after its premiere, Florentene, a hip, sexy Israeli TV show, still provides an engaging window into the hormone-soaked lives of the 20-something denizens of Florentene, a district in South Tel Aviv. The year is 1995 and there is hope (perhaps naпve) in the air and a feeling that peace is on its way. The principal characters include a former kibbutznik, two professional women, a renegade from an Orthodox family and two openly gay men. The final episode mingles drama and news footage to show how the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin profoundly affected the young people of the neighborhood, blurring the lines between the personal and the political. This steamy, beautifully written series is much better than anything you'll see on American network television!

- Garden
-
The Garden is a rundown section of Tel Aviv where young gay prostitutes make their home. Over the course of one year, the filmmakers follow two young men, Nino, a 17-year-old Palestinian, and Dudu, an Israeli Arab. Like many gay youth, they are the closest thing each other has to family. They help each other survive and mirror back self-worth, vulnerability, and a flirtatious swagger. This gritty documentary premiered to critical success at Sundance.

Angelika Levi’s poetic film reveals the complicated life of her mother, Ursula, a woman of mixed Jewish/German heritage who survived Nazi rule. Recordings of her mother and interviews with her father create a powerful look at how information and myths are passed along in this portrait of a family whose story is both its own universe and a microcosm of European history.

Ezra and Selim are gay lovers caught within the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. Edit and Samira, a lesbian couple, are also negotiating the intricate dance of relationships between Jews and Palestinians. These couples cross cultural boundaries with dignity and profound love. Elle Flanders weaves their stories with her family’s 1950s sun-drenched home movies of Israel and quiet observations of the conflict today, creating a unique feeling of dissonance.
