Independence Film to Represent Israel at the Oscars
The Israeli film 'Independence' by director Moshe Rosenthal has won the Ophir Award for Best Film, securing its position as Israel's official submission for the Best International Feature Film category at the upcoming Academy Awards. The drama, which garnered a record 16 nominations, swept the Ophir Awards ceremony held at Cinema City Glilot, taking home ten awards in total, including those for Best Director and Best Screenplay.
'Independence' is a drama that unfolds across two distinct time periods, 1987 and 1996. The narrative centers on Boaz, tracing his life from adolescence in 1987 to young adulthood in 1996, and exploring his relationships with his family members.
