Assassination drama Incitement on Sunday picked up the best picture prize at Israel’s Ophir Awards, the country’s primary national film awards. The win means the film becomes Israel’s submission to this year’s Best International Feature Film Oscar (renamed for 2020 from Best Foreign Language Film).
Directed by Yaron Zilberman, the feature depicts the 1995 assassination of Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, told through the eyes of his assassin Yigal Amir. It premiered at the Toronto Film Festival in the Contemporary World Cinema program. Yehuda Nahari plays Amir, with the film following the two years leading up to the murder at a peace rally in Tel Aviv.
The Ophir win and Oscar submission was met with condemnation from the country’s outspoken culture minister Miri Regev. According to the Times of Israel, Regev slammed the film as having “no place” in the country due to its perceived criticism of prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The film explores the birth of Israel’s controversial religious political party Shas in the 1980s.
The 35th edition of the Jerusalem Film Festival (Jff) opened on Thursday evening (July 26) with Israeli director Eliran Malka’s debut feature The Unorthodox, exploring the events leading up to the birth of Israel’s controversial religious political party Shas in the 1980s.
Festival director Noa Regev and Jff artistic director Elad Samorzik’s decision to select a picture by a first-time director with a religious background was seen as bold move given the festival’s traditionally secular atmosphere, but it appears to be have paid off.
