The 27th Jerusalem International Film Festival will take place from July 8 - 17, 2010. Israeli film has always been at the heart of the festival; many of the significant Israeli films of the past decades had their premieres at the festival. As the Israeli film industry evolves and develops, the practice of documentary filmmaking has flourished. This year's festival presents an impressive array of documentaries, each focusing on a particular story, with attention to the small details of individual lives. Together, they convey the complex social, political and human texture of life in Israel.
