Based upon a story by Israeli author A.B. Yehoshua, Facing the Forest is a crisp film-noir that unleashes a deluge of paranoia from the outset. Alex, an erstwhile graduate student, takes a no-stress job as a fire spotter in Israel's Carmel Forest. Hoping to finish his thesis on the Crusaders, he unwittingly discovers the ruins of a castle built by Eduard La Grand - a 12th Century Christian knight who, it appears may have converted to Islam. He finds an ancient coin that adds more fuel to this archeological fire. Alex soon unearths more than he bargained for when he stumbles over a dead body which disappears from the scene of the crime.

Guest Speaker (just announced; Monday only)
Professor Max Ticktin is Associate Director of the Program in Judaic Studies and Assistant Professor of Hebrew, Classics Dept., The George Washington University, where he teaches courses in Hebrew language and contemporary Israeli literature.

Co-sponsored by the Embassy of Israel
