BINA Cultural Foundation 7th Annual Sheba Film Festival

Children of the Bible The Israeli rapper and informal educator Jeremy “Cool” Abash exposes the complex situations facing Ethiopian-Israeli youth. Abash works towards changing the humiliated and depressed image of the Ethiopian community in Israel, both in its own eyes and in the eyes of Israeli society, by bringing members of the Ethiopian community closer to their tradition—the songs, the meaning of Ethiopian names, stories about the lives of the Ethiopian community and the journey that has taken on mythical proportions. Director: Nitza Gonen, in Hebrew and Amharic with English subtitles. Screening will be followed by a panel discussion. Date & Time: Sun, May 2, 2010, 7:00pm Location: Lexington Avenue at 92nd Street Directions Venue: Buttenwieser Hall Co
