Nominated for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Feature
Winner of the Silver Bear for best director at the 2007 Berlin Film Festival and Israel’s official nomination for the Foreign Language Film category at the Oscars®, director Joseph Cedar employs an effective minimalist style to his intense, subtle study of war based on the celebrated novel by Ron Leshem. Serving as an examination of the futility of war, and with more recent Israeli Lebanese history clearly in mind, Beaufort is a haunting and beautiful portrayal of not only tragedy but of the strength and fragility of the human condition.
Beaufort author and screenwriter Ron Leshem will speak after the film.
