WELCOME presented by The East Hampton Library and Guild Hall as part of The 7th Annual Free Winter Film Series
Directed by Philippe Lioret; France | 2009 | Drama | French, English and Kurdish w/ English subtitles. Bilal, a 17-year-old Kurdish refugee, has struggled his way through Europe for the last three months, trying to reunite with his girlfriend, who recently immigrated to England. But his journey comes to an abrupt halt when he is stopped by authorities in Calais, on the French side of the Channel. Left with no other alternatives, he decides to swim across. Bilal goes to the local swimming pool to train, where he meets Simon, a middle-aged swimming instructor in turmoil over his imminent divorce. Simon agrees to help Bilal, hoping to win back the affection of his wife, who does volunteer work helping immigrants. But what begins as a relationship based on self interest, develops into something much bigger than Simon could ever have imagined, as he too will ultimately risk everything to reach happiness.

East Hampton Library Winter Film Festival presents JAFFA
Directed by Keren Yedaya; Israel | 2009 | Drama | Hebrew w/ English subtitles.
In the heart of the Israeli city of Jaffa, Reuven’s garage is a family-run business. The garage workers consist of Reuven’s beautiful daughter Mali, his aggressive and distant son Meir, as well as the young Palestinian man, Toufik. No one suspects that Mali and Toufik have been in love for years, and that Mali is pregnant with Toufik’s child. As the two lovers secretly make their wedding arrangements, tension steadily builds between Toufik and Meir, who openly voices his disdain and prejudices about Arabs. As these relationships continue to intensify, emotions begin to boil, resulting in an astonishing conclusion.
