Jerusalem Moments 2009

The Jerusalem Moments Film Project started in 2007, in partnership with the Jerusalem Cinematheque. Each year, Ir Amim, a non-profit organization seeking to render Jerusalem a more equitable city for Israelis and Palestinians, chooses directors to address the subject in film. In 2009, seven films focused on the realities of life in Jerusalem.

BUS  by Yasmine Novak (10')
