There’s no time like a coronavirus closure for watching films.
The DocAviv Festival, usually held in Tel Aviv each May, but this year held online in September, had more than 61,000 viewers.
With Israelis at home once again for another COVID-19 closure, the festival launched Docustream, a month of documentaries throughout October, created only for viewers in Israel.
Docustream will be online from October 1-31, with tickets priced at NIS 15 apiece, or NIS 80 in order to watch any and all of the films.
All of the international films include Hebrew subtitles and include films for the whole family, films about family matters, politics, art, relationships and friendship.
