Cemetery Club - a film by Mark Achbar and Peter Wintonick

Nominated, Best Documentary Film - European Film Awards
Nominated, Best Documentary Film - Award of the Israeli Film Academy


"At times wickedly funny, at others poignantly human…"
- Deborah Young, VARIETY

"Funny and surprising…"
 - Adam Nayman, EYE WEEKLY

"A salty comedy of uncompromising eccentricity and a requiem for a generation still sending sparks from fading embers."
- Geoff Pevere, TORONTO STAR

For over two decades, the “Mt. Herzl Academy” has held its weekly meeting at this cemetery. Seated between the graves of the nation’s dignitaries, they debate the history of modern philosophy, read poetry, eat lunch and determine the fate of the Jewish nation. The film focuses on two women, Minya and Lena. The film unravels the jagged, intense, almost impossible relationship between these two extremely different women, who - each bereaved of the man she loved – remain bound together by history and Fate.

 

2006, Israel, 90 min. In Hebrew/Polish with English subtitles.
