Now in its eighth year, the Israeli Film Festival brings the work of some of that nation’s brightest talents to the Byrd Theatre Jan. 18-27. The opening film, “The Women’s Balcony,” details the aftermath of a tragedy in a small community and the charming rabbi who shows up, claiming the unfortunate event was God’s judgment. But wait, there are plenty of jokes to edge the tragedy toward comedy.
$7 to $10 per film, $25 to $35 for a festival pass.
