SUMMARY:Dancing Arabs - 4PM
DESCRIPTION:Dancing Arabs \nScreening: Thursday\, September 17\, 2015 – 4pm\nTickets: Adults $10\, Senior/Senior $8\nLocation: Uptown Theatre\, 55 Dunlop Street West\, Barrie\nDirected by: Eran Ricklis\nCast: Yaël Abecassis\, Michael Moshonov\, Ali Suliman\, Tawfeek Barhom and Danielle Kitzis\nDrama\, PG\, 105 minutes · Arabic\, Hebrew\, German with English Subtitles (France/Germany/Israel) \n  \n“A tender\, occasionally whimsical tale of love and friendship\, set amid the over-boiling cauldron that is the Middle East conflict” – Bill Brownstein\, Montreal Gazette \n  \nA young Palestinian outsider struggles to find his place in Israeli society in this coming-of-age drama by acclaimed veteran filmmaker Eran Riklis (The Syrian Bride).  A whip-smart but introverted teenager from an Arab village\, Eyad Barhum (Tawfeek Barhum)\, earns a place in Jerusalem’s most prestigious boarding school – the first and only Arab to be accepted. Initially isolated and lonely in his new surroundings\, he slowly overcomes social\, cultural and language barriers with the help of his peers. The compassion of a Jewish girl\, Naomi (Danielle Kitzis)\, blossoms into a forbidden romance across religious divide. Meantime\, Eyad also finds kinship with Yonatan (Michael Moshonov)\, a classmate with muscular dystrophy\, their relationship lending strength to the wheelchair-bound boy’s mother Edna (Yael Abecassis)\, a single parent. As heartbreak\, personal tragedy and sociopolitical strife intrude on his adolescent idyll; Eyad soon realizes that he must make a life-changing compromise of identity in order to be accepted. Arab-Israeli journalist Sayed Kashua’s semiautobiographical screenplay is a plea for understanding between both sides of an intractable political divide. Nominated for four Israeli Academy Awards\, including Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor. \n  \n\n\nContact the following sponsoring restaurants to make your reservation and inquire about their special Barrie Film Festival Dinner & Movie Menu! \n\n\nGroovy Tuesdays Bistro \nProviding a Prix Fixe Menu\, 3 courses for $35 ea. \n705-721-0302 \n\n\nThe North Restaurant \nProviding a Prix Fixe Menu\, 3 courses for $35 ea. \n705-812-2192
