This powerful collection of narratives explores the themes of realism, identity, resilience, and the fragile balance between past and present. “Between Bullets and Lens” offers a firsthand look at journalists’ harrowing experiences covering the October 7th Hamas attack. Other films showcase a child experiencing the tension between innocence and the weight of family responsibilities, a deeply religious woman grappling with the boundaries of faith and modern medicine, and a Holocaust survivor searching for a true sense of belonging in a post-trauma world. In addition, a dedicated shoemaker fights to preserve his family’s legacy against the tides of time, and a film director, facing the anxiety and jealousy stirred by his movie's premiere, is forced to confront what truly matters in life.

Due to circumstances beyond our control, Meir, which was originally part of the in-person program on October 25, 2025, will not be available for virtual screening. Thank you so much for your understanding.
