But upon arrival at the Israeli airport, their hosts and transportation fail to show. So begins first-time director Elan Kolirin's fish-out-of-water comedy The Band's Visit (AKA Bikur hatzimoret, 2007). Trapped in a middle-of-nowhere desert town, the group members try to figure out what to do and where to go. Call for more info
