Director: Yael Klopmann
Israel/2008, 74 minutes, Hebrew with English subtitles.

SILENT GAMES follows the Israeli National Deaf Soccer Team of five a side soccer. In their view they beat deafness a long time ago. Therefore, as is their habit, with no real support from the Israeli government and no recognition from the Israeli public, they set out on a ‘mission impossible’ that they have set for themselves - to get into the first eight of the World Championship in Bulgaria against 24 great teams whose players enjoy first class training camps and who earn salaries like professionals.

BROKEN PROMISE - Tuesday, March 9, 2010, 7:30p.m.
Director: Jiri Chlumsky
Slovakia/2009, 129 minutes
Slovak with English Subtitles

Martin Friedmann, one of five sons of a Jewish poultry trader, plays soccer while living with his family in an idyllic Slovakian town in the period after WWI. But as Martin’s bar mitzvah approaches, life begins to change, and Europe prepares for another war. When the family gathers to celebrate Martin’s ascent to manhood, they promise to reunite in a year’s time, not knowing that this will be the last time they will all be together. Martin’s journey takes him away from his home and family, to starvation, hard labor and ill health, to a new name and identity (Martin Petrasek) and even into armed combat.

SONS OF SAKHNIN UNITED - Tuesday, April 13, 2010, 7:30p.m.
Director: Chris Browne
USA/2007, 90 minutes
In English, Hebrew, Arabic with English subtitles

SONS OF SAKHNIN UNITED covers the quixotic journey of B’Nai Sakhnin, the first Arab soccer team to become champions of Israel. It is a story of a ramshackle town and its beloved football team purposefully created as a coexistence statement, consisting of Arabs and Jews whose unprecedented success, against all the odds, gave the one in five Israelis who are Arab a platform to speak to the rest of the Jewish state.

A PERFECT MATCH - Tuesday, May 11, 2010, 7:30p.m.
Director: Betsy Blankenbaker
USA/2009
