Special Israeli film screening -Mivtza Savta (Operation Grandmother) - December 18, 2006

Directed by Dror Shaul (50 min, Israel, 1999)
Experience this hysterical satire of Israeli society. Three brothers attempt to bury their grandmother in an Israeli comedy which has become a modern cult classic. The eldest brother, who is an officer in the military, takes control of the situation and plans the funeral as if it were a major army operation. Despite the careful planning, things go wrong in the most comical manner.
