Talking Pictures with Susan Benjamin In-Person
Join us in the Hammond Room for a monthly film series with a post-screening discussion led by Susan Benjamin.
AHED'S KNEE
A celebrated Israeli filmmaker named Y arrives in a remote desert village to present one of his films at a local library. Struggling to cope with the recent news of his mother's terminal illness, he is pushed into a spiral of rage when the host of the screening, a government employee, asks him to sign a form placing restrictions on what he can say at the film's Q&A. Told over the course of one day, the film depicts Y as he battles against the loss of freedom in his country and the fear of losing his mother. 109 minutes, in Hebrew with English subtitles.
