Docaviv director Galia Bador: "Docaviv Festival's partnership with Ma'alot-Tarshiha has now turned 12. This year, the festival goes online, providing an online platform for local and international filmmakers to showcase their work. For the first time, Docaviv Galilee will be opening the Wings archive to the public, giving free access to 46 films by local filmmakers from the Galilee, all filmed in recent years. We believe the festival's rich program reflects the intricate social tapestry of Ma'alot-Tarshiha and the surrounding towns and villages. The program features premières of films about people who are creating social and ecological change in the world. Thanks to our online platform, this year's local festival will gain country-wide visibility. I am happy and proud that the festival, which has become an essential part of the Galilee's cultural landscape, will be going ahead despite these difficult times, and providing our audience with superb original documentaries.”
Arkadi Pomerantz, Mayor of Ma'alot-Tarshiha: "I am proud that even in these challenging days, Ma'alot-Tarshiha can host this incredibly important festival, a cultural event that has become a long-standing tradition in our town. And now, thanks to the blessings of the digital age, we can expand our reach to the whole country. Enjoy the films!"
