    Apple Picks Up Israeli Neo-Noir Series 'Losing Alice' Rotem Yaron/Apple TV+ 'Losing Alice' Created, written and directed by Sigal Avin, the eight-part thriller stars Ayelet Zurer as an aging director who becomes obsessed with a younger screenwriter. Apple TV+ is expanding its slate of international original series. The streamer has picked up exclusive international rights to Israeli neo-noir series Losing Alice and signed a co- production deal with Israel's Dori Media and cable company HOT. Created, written and directed Sigal Avin, Losing Alice stars Ayelet Zurer (Man of Steel, Daredevil) as Alice, a 48 year-old film director who feels increasingly irrelevant but is inspired once more after becoming obsessed with Sophie, a 24 year- old femme fatale screenwriter played by Lihi Kornowski. Building on the Faust legend, but through the unique prism of a female filmmaker, Losing Alice explores issues such as jealousy, guilt, fear of aging as well as the complex relationships women have among themselves and each other. The first eight-part season of Losing Alice will air on Apple TV+ worldwide later this year and is currently airing on HOT in Israel. Losing Alice joins an ever-growing list of international Apple Originals and is the second high profile Israeli series snapped up by the streamer. Apple TV+ recently boarded drama series Tehran, from Fauda writer Moshe Zonder. Apple TV+ will serve as a co-producer on the series from Cineflix Rights and Israeli network Kan 11. As part of the deal, Apple will serve as the exclusive streaming home to the series in all territories.

  • Israel and America 2020: Spanning the Divide
    Israel and America 2020: Spanning the Divide Opening Plenary Sponsored by to Find Common Ground Lynn and Les Bider Jodie and Steven Fishman Andrea and Glenn Sonnenberg Closing Plenary Sponsored by Sunday, January 26, 2020 Lori and Rob Goodman Israel and America 2020: Spanning the Divide to Find Common Ground Stephen Wise Temple is excited to host the first Southern California Z3 Conference. In a time of growing disconnect between the American Jewish community and Israel, Z3 provides a means through which the dialogue and mutual interdependence can be strengthened. We are two vibrant centers of Jewish life and our different yet complementary trajectories along the continuum of Jewish living provides each of our communities with strengths and insights that benefit us both. After 71 years of existence, the State of Israel has reached a population of seven million which is roughly equal to the size of the American Jewish community. The dynamic of the movement of immigrants back and forth (by choice) reveals that both nations provide both their Jewish inhabitants with meaningful and secure homes. At the same time, the episodic resurgence of tensions and the associated insecurity reminds us that ultimately we need each other. And yet, Jewish life is not just about responding to threats. Our communities possess vast resources of talent, wisdom, innovation, and are highly educated. We have the capacity to collectively solve the challenges of our world even as we build Jewish life. Z3 is about searching for ways that we can share our strengths, leverage our vast resources, and secure Jewish life for the foreseeable future.

At the center of the movie is a marriage that has gone on for a long time and become frayed. Surrounding that union are young people falling in love, a brand-new marriage and the surprise of mid-life romance. The film is also about the connection that sometimes happens between a human being and a pet – the love, friendship and solace that can pass between species. Anyone who’s ever had a dog knows they live in the moment. That fact of their behavior can have a revivifying effect on the people around them. While humans worry about the future and mull over the past, dogs bring us back to the present with the uncomplicated joy they take in the here and now – getting outside with us for a walk, having their meal, being stroked.

  • Elon, Ori and Yehonatan Indursky, Creators. Shtisel. Abot Hameiri Barkai and Yes Network, 2013
    Film/TV Review Elon, Ori and Yehonatan Indursky, creators. Shtisel. Abot Hameiri Barkai and Yes Network, 2013. Reviewed by Batya Weinbaum, American Public University, Charles Town, WV, USA How Strong Jewish Orthodox Women Won Their Show to Soon Grow in Brooklyn: Women Propelling Shtisel’s Success Tablet Magazine described Shtisel, created in 2013, now streaming on Netflix (which bought Shtisel in Dec 2018) as “all black hats and beards.” Shtisel centers in a Haredim community in Geula, an ultra-Orthodox neighborhood adjacent to Jerusalem’s Mea Shearim. Debuting in June of 2013, the show was synopsized as being “about an aging Haredi widower in Jerusalem and his hapless grown bachelor son.” Yet a vibrant circle of strong women in the community account for some momentum of the show’s success, resulting in a contract for a third season. First-season ratings were not substantial given its low-visibility in a niche channel Abot Hameiri Productions developed for a satellite service which broadcast the show in Israel in 2013. Yet critics paid attention. By 2014, the series claimed Israeli Emmys (Ophirs) for best drama and best original screenplay. Israel’s public broadcaster purchased the rights two years later. Over its first two seasons, the show won more than a dozen Israeli TV awards (Gruen). Three years after first appearing, Shtisel episodes ranked among the most-watched shows in Israel; shortly after Netflix began Shtisel’s international distribution, Hannah K.S. Canter and her mother, Marta Kauffman, co-creator of Friends and of Netflix’s Gracie and Frankie (Bruner) sold a Brooklyn-set American adaptation of the show set to Amazon, following other original Israeli shows that became US series including Showtime’s Homeland.
