Nightlife: Film
|
 |
|
West Jerusalem shows the latest European and American films, almost always in the original language with Hebrew subtitles. In the eastern part of the city, the films come mostly from Arab countries and are in Arabic without subtitles. The Friday Jerusalem Post carries film listings and times, but seldom the address or phone number of the cinemas.
The most prominent theater is the world-famous Cinémathèque (tel. 02/ 672-4131) or Israel Film Archive, which is the scene of nightly screenings of the classics, the best of the current international scene, rarely shown international films, and the experimental and the arcane. Films are usually in the original language, with Hebrew and (often) English subtitles. Members of the Cinémathèque get the first seats, but a half hour before screening time tickets go on sale to the public. Besides the movie houses, there are other places that screen films, such as the Jerusalem Theater, Binyane Ha-Uma, and the Israel Museum.
The Cinémathèque is located near the railway station. Go to the traffic intersection between the railway station and Hebron Road. Walk down the slope to the northeast, toward the Old City, and soon youll come to the Cinémathèque, built into the hillside below the Hebron Road.
Other well-known cinemas and venues for film are G. G. Gil, Jerusalem Mall, Malha (tel. 02/678-8448), and the Jerusalem Theater, 20 Marcus St. (tel. 02/ 560-5755).
