The young rock band "Corduroy" will perform the original soundtrack composed by Berry Sakharof live, synchronized with the film, with singer Sherry Zak Levi joining them. Journalist Roni Cowan will also host a pre-screening talk with Folman about the film's creation.
Veteran singer Shimi Tavori will celebrate 50 years in the music industry with a special performance of his greatest hits. The festival will also showcase emerging artists, such as the collaboration between musicians Guygia (Guy Ben Ami) and Noga (Yitach), representing the younger generation of Israeli music.
Other notable acts include rapper Avraham Lagasa, who will perform tracks from his new double album "Atah," and the band Kiki Malinky, fronted by Yasmin Raveev, known for their blend of 90s-inspired rock with emotional lyrics. Assaf Amdursky will revisit his second album, released 30 years ago, performing its seven songs that merged rock and electronic elements.
