For several years now, a growing interest in screen portrayals of Orthodox Judaism has been evident, in mainstream as well as independent films. Television series such as Shtisel and Unorthodox have found an enthusiastic international audience.
Alongside feature films and television shows about Orthodox Jewish life that offer secular viewers glimpses of the daily experiences of generally secluded communities, a spate of Orthodox film productions have begun developing in Israel – by women and for women.
This program will consider both sides of the phenomenon. With a screening of Entangled, we will watch a film by an Orthodox woman filmmaker. Then, in the subsequent conversation, the film critic Marlyn Vinig will shed insight on this Orthodox film production for a female audience.

In the second conversation, Yehonatan Indursky, the creator of the Israeli television show Shtisel, will talk about the public fascination with ultra-Orthodox lives, followed by a screening of two episodes of his latest show, Autonomies. The conversations will both be moderated by the Israeli producer Naomi Levari.
