As part of the 39th Jewish Cultural Days (November 12–22), a film portrait of singer Esther Ofarim will be screened—fittingly aligned with this year’s festival theme, "ZADIKIM – Time for the Righteous."

Esther Ofarim was once one of Israel’s most renowned voices. She rose to global stardom in the 1960s, sharing the stage with artists such as Cher and Leonard Cohen, before eventually withdrawing to Hamburg. When war escalates in her homeland, a young filmmaker begins a series of late-night phone conversations with the reclusive singer. Incorporating rare archival footage, the film creates a moving portrait of memory, belonging, and the price of fame.

Shaked Goren’s documentary also features voices from Berlin’s queer community. Original version (Hebrew, German, and English) with English subtitles.
