Harmonia<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

What’s better than movies? Movies with live music! The 12th Annual Chicago Festival of Israeli Cinema is opening soon, screening in Chicago, Skokie and Glenview. The festival takes place from October 25 through November 5, showcasing award-winning international films produced in Israel in the past 12 months with classical, world, pop and club music, too.<\/p>\n

Special events include the Opening Night film, the Chicago premiere of Ori Sivan\u2019s Harmonia<\/em>, on Wednesday, October 25 at the North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie. \u201cHarmonia<\/em> is a modern retelling of the Biblical tale of Abraham, Sarah and Hagar,\u201d said Cindy Stern, Executive Director of the festival. \u201cThe composers of the original music in the film will be at the screening, together with the film\u2019s editor, to discuss how movies in which music is more like a character than a soundtrack, come together,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Past Life<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On October 26, the Music Box Theatre will be rocking, as the Festival presents Rock the Box 4: Tel Aviv Street Party<\/em>, with a double feature of two dramedies, Arik Rothstein\u2019s Antenna<\/em> and Maysaloun Hamoud\u2019s In Between<\/em> bookending a lounge-like gathering of Middle Eastern food and live music.<\/p>\n

On October 28, beautiful choral music is featured in Avi Nesher\u2019s Past Life<\/em>, based on the true story of two sisters who discover a startling secret in their Holocaust survivor father\u2019s past and travel to Poland and Germany to find the truth.<\/p>\n

Ben Gurion, Epilogue<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
