Haifa will host its 26th International Film Festival, featuring a range of excellent prize-winning movies from around the world, live music events, outdoor film screenings and outdoor fairs for the general public. Tamara Drewe, a film by Stephen Frears, who also made My Beautiful Laundrette and The Queen, will open the festival. The film tells the entertaining, scandal-filled tale of Tamara Drewe, which takes place in the heart of rural England.
The festival will host 300 guests from the local and international film industry, who will meet Israeli audiences at receptions and discussions on films. The festival will hold three competitions: The Golden Anchor, for Mediterranean film; the International Competition, for premieres; and the best Israeli full-length, short, documentary films or television dramas.
