Seven Blessings Film Screening – Chandler

• Winner of 10 Israeli Ophir Awards and Israel’s entry for the 2024 Best Foreign Film Academy Award, this comedic drama deals with unearthed family secrets. When she was a 2-year-old child, Marie’s mother “gifted” her to her infertile sister to raise, a custom common to Moroccan Jewish culture of the time. Now a grown woman, Marie travels from France to Israel to marry her childhood sweetheart and to confront her family. A wonderful film of hidden wounds, strong women, and forgiveness.

Actress and co-writer Eleanor Sela will join us in-person from Israel for a discussion and Q&A after the film.
