Tonight's feature is Beaufort, Israel, 2007, 132 min., in Hebrew with English subtitles, Director: Joseph Cedar, Screenwriters: Joseph Cedar, Ron Leshem, Featuring Eli Eltonyo, Itay Tiran, Ohad Knoller, Oshri Cohen. Best Director, Berlin Film Festival and 2007 Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Film.

Beaufort chronicles the final days of an Israeli army unit's tense, painful withdrawal in 2000 from a strategic bunker inside a 12th century Crusader fortress near the Lebanese border. The film tells the story of Liraz Liberti, the 22 year old commander of Beaufort and his troops during the last few weeks prior to their withdrawal. The base is still under heavy enemy bombardment as Liraz prepares to explode the site, thus destroying everything his comrades have fought and in some cases died to defend. Based on a true story, Beaufort is one of the most acclaimed and controversial films in the history of Israeli cinema. Celebrated director Joseph Cedar (Time of Favor, 2002 NJFF) confronts the difficult questions of Israel's military strategy in Lebanon but also more broadly the sacrifices of young soldiers and the futility of war – a most timely subject here in America and beyond. 

Please note: special guest Dr. Sonja Hedgepeth, professor of Film, Literature and Hebrew at Middle Tennessee State University, will introduce the film.
