Winner of five Israeli Academy Awards and Israel’s 2005 Oscar Nominee for Best Foreign Film, this is a personal and political tale of a widow and her two young daughters. Set in 1981, the Gerlik women, are attempting to join the founding group of a new religious settlement on the West Bank. In order to be accepted into the group, Rachel is encouraged to remarry, one of her suitors being Moshe Ivgy’s loveable Yossi. But their plans are derailed when one of the daughters is sexually assaulted at a youth group bonfire. While telling the story of one family’s personal turmoil, Campfire is simultaneously an allegory about the settlement movement, directed by a filmmaker who grew up in the modern-Orthodox community.
