Israeli Film Screening: Every Bastard a King
Sunday December 11
TIME: 1:30 to 4:30 pm.

PLACE: Congregation Dor Hadash
5898 Wilkins Avenue
(TOL*OLS building)

Will include an introduction and discussion of the film by
Dr. Naftali Kaminski, who grew up in Israel and helped bring Israeli film screenings to Pittsburgh

This Israeli-made feature was originally titled “Kol Mamzer Melech.” Dramatizing an actual event that occurred during the Six-Day War of 1967, the film stars Italian actress Pier Angeli, but the central character is a pilot named Ralphi Cohen, played by Oded Kotler. Hoping to bring peace to his country, Cohen takes it upon himself to fly his plane towards Egypt, there to hopefully commiserate with Abdel Nasser. Shot down on route, Cohen finds himself halfway between the Egyptian and Israeli armies: he’d like to get home, but he’d also like to retain the use of his life.
