Screening, conversation with the director, and performance A screening of the documentary film Esther, winner of the Directing and Editing awards at DocAviv Festival 2026, followed by a conversation with the film's director, Shaked Goren. The evening will close with a tribute performance of Esther Ofarim's songs, performed by singer Tom Cohen with guitar accompaniment by Yonatan Keret. About the film: Esther Ofarim, one of the greatest voices to come out of Israel, achieved dazzling success; and then, almost overnight, disappeared. For decades she has lived in her modest apartment in Hamburg, far from the Middle Eastern commotion. Through phone calls between Shaked, the film's director in Tel Aviv, and Esther in Germany, the geographic and emotional distance between the two unfolds. This is a journey between places, identities, and times, out of which emerges the delicate and elusive figure of an artist who is a symbol and distillation of Israeliness – an essence she both rejects and embodies at the same time. Winner of the Directing Award and the Editing Award, DocAviv Festival 2026. Director: Shaked Goren Produced by: Ayelet Keit and Amir Harel Israel 2026, Hebrew/German
