Special Miami Jewish Film Festival Encore Showing
Israel's Official Entry to the 2024 Academy Awards and the 2024 Miami Jewish Film Festival's Best Israeli Film, Seven Blessings also swept the Israeli Academy Awardswith 10 wins, including Best Film. In this bittersweet dramedy set in early ‘90s Jerusalem, a diverse family celebrates a Moroccan-Jewish bride and French-Ashkenazi groom’s union, infusing the occasion with joy, laughter and a vibrant mix of languages. Yet, as the Seven Blessings ritual unfolds—a week of festive meals honoring the newlyweds—the facade cracks, exposing deep-seated wounds rooted in ancient tradition.
