‘Succession’ Actor Ashley Zukerman, Shekhar Kapur & LevelK Behind ‘Song Of Songs’; Pic Among Slate Of Jewish Australian Projects Backed By New Fund


A new fund is launching to support Jewish Australian features. The first projects have been revealed.

Over the seven days of mourning following her grandmother’s death, Miriam forms a forbidden connection with a young Rabbi that sets in motion the unravelling of a complex family reckoning with their identities. The debut feature from acclaimed multidisciplinary artist Anita Lester has been developed with support from Screen Australia, with LevelK on board for international sales. Anita Lester’s second feature follows Australian painter Lola Cohen, whose controversial exhibition leads her to accept an invitation to spend a month in Israel’s Golan Heights with renowned American Jewish artist Ivan Moshinsky.
