Israeli cinema is increasingly recognised internationally for both its quality and its prolific output. The film industry and exports are growing annually due to success abroad, in addition to the increase in foreign productions and co-productions being filmed in the country. 

The Israel Film Centre of the Ministry of Industry and Trade promotes filming in Israel by both local and foreign producers. And events such as the Israeli Film Festival, at cinematheques in Jerusalem, Haifa and Sderot, along with other festivals held abroad, are bringing Israeli cinema to the attention of an ever-widening circle of film enthusiasts. 

For these reasons, the Three Cultures Foundation will devote its Tuesday Film Festival in January to Israeli cinema. With the collaboration of the Israeli Embassy in Spain, the Foundation will screen the films 'Learning to Live', 'Laces', and 'At a Glance'.

Tuesday, 11th January, 20.30 h.
