This deft blend of romance and black comedy follows Ronen Matalon (Yossi Atia, also the film’s writer and director) as he tries to overcome his fear of terror attacks. One day while walking down Jerusalem’s Jaffa Road he hears a tour guide selling a sanitized version of his city’s recent history. Fed up with the hypocrisy, Ronen begins his own “Terror Tour,” taking tourists to famous bombing sites and emotionlessly sharing the details of all the attacks that took place during the 1990s and 2000s. Asia, an ex-Jerusalemite living in Barcelona, takes one of his tours, sparks fly, and their relationship challenges him to begin healing from the trauma that has been mapping his inner life. Born in Jerusalem and Still Alive is a sensitive and hilarious debut. Winner: Best First Film, Jerusalem Film Festival.
