Tickets go on sale tomorrow for Bella—the latest from the GJFF

GREENVILLE, SC – Tickets go on sale tomorrow for Bella, the latest Pop-Up Movie presented by the Greenville Jewish Film Festival.

The film, a moving story about enduring bonds of friendship in a world of chaos, will be shown on Sunday, August 30, at 4 p.m. at Camelot Cinemas in Greenville.

The film tells the story of Yaki, who learns his only inheritance is a prize show dove, and she slips away almost as soon as she arrives. He talks his childhood friend Bilal into a road trip across Israel and Palestine to get her back, wives in tow, with the Jerusalem Dove Beauty Pageant on the calendar and the clock running. 

The film comes from two directors, Zohar Shachar and Jamal Khalaily. She is a Jewish Israeli, he is Palestinian, and they have been friends and creative partners since 2015. "We believe that stories of hope — led by kind, multicultural protagonists — are essential in a world like ours,” they wrote about the film.

“The message of Bella is an amazing one and it’s something we are proud to bring to Greenville,” said Caroline Warthen, a co-founder of the Greenville Jewish Film Festival. “We want to give a special thank you to Thomas and Sandra Kester for generously sponsoring this GJFF event.”
