50 years anniversary of Israel's West Side Story with a Middle Eastern beat which was nominated at the Golden Globes for two categories (Best International Feature and Best Original Song). A first-time seen 4K scan restoration brought by the Israeli Film Archive of Jerusalem Cinematuqe.

Kazablan (Legend Yehoram Gaon), a Moroccan Jew from Casablanca, takes time out from hassling the poverty-stricken tenants of the Jaffa ghetto to court Rachel, an Ashkenazic Jew. As their cultures clash, Kazablan’s passion gives way to pride when Rachel’s father reveals his prejudice against the Sephardim. Enhanced by enthusiastic dancing and singing, this colorful, exuberant hit remains Israel’s best and most beloved musical. While the two protagonists share religion, their contrasting cultures and ethnicities fuel community scandal and a bitter family feud. This fun fantasy directed by Menahem Golan and Yoram Globus (Cannon Films) features more than 1,000 actors, singers, and dancers.
