Israeli film festival begins in Budapest

Thirteen new productions and documentaries will be screened at the Israeli Film Festival starting in Budapest on Thursday evening, the Israeli Embassy told MTI.

The week-long festival will open with Joseph Cedar's "Beaufort", a Berlin International Film Festival award winning about the Israeli-Lebanese conflict shown through the eyes of soldiers.

Among other films are Dror Shaul's drama "Sweet Mud" about a young boy and a kibbutz community in 1974 and Gitai Amos' "Free Zone" about an American woman travelling with a Jewish woman in her cab to the free zone in the Jordan-Iraq-Saudi border.

During the festival, films marking the 60th anniversary of the State of Israel will be shown in the Odeon-Lloyd cinema.
