The 2024 winner of the Ophir Award (Israeli Academy Award) for Best Picture [and Best Director], and Israel’s entry to the 2025 [Hollywood] Academy Awards, this semi-autobiographical debut by Ms. Nesher is visually stunning. When Eden’s brother tragically dies, her grief spirals into obsession after discovering his secret girlfriend.
Tom Nesher, daughter of acclaimed Israeli filmmaker Avi Nesher, is carving out her own voice in the world of cinema. Growing up immersed in Israel’s rich storytelling tradition, Tom brings a unique sensitivity and authenticity to her work, exploring the complexities of identity, family, and heritage. Come Closer is Tom’s feature film debut.
This is on off-site event and will be held at Facets 1517 W Fullerton Ave.
