Kumari - The Living Goddess of Nepal Kumari - The Living Goddess of Nepal

Director: Tassia Kobylinska

Year: 2006

In the Himalayan kingdom of Nepal, the tradition of worshipping a prepubescent girl as a living goddess is still practised. The extraordinary lives of these girls have caused concern among Nepal's modernisers and human rights workers who argue that the practice is damaging to the girls and causing them to lose out on their childhood. This film is a portrait of three girl goddesses and the debates surrounding their lives.

The Road to Jericho The Road to Jericho

Director: Amos Gitai

Year: 2026

Traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho, where Rabin's first agreement covered Gaza and Jericho, we find Khan El Ahmar, a Bedouin hamlet of 300 people. Recent demolition threats contradict what Rabin would have wanted. A musical and visual journey, a poem in images – a hybrid of documentary and fiction that weaves archival images from earlier films, with the voices of Samuel Fuller, Jeanne Moreau, Arthur Miller, and Yitzhak Rabin, among others, into the contemporary reality of the Bedouins of Khan El Ahmar, now threatened with eviction by settlers on this road to Jericho. A poignant, sensitive meditation on human destinies on this desert land, steeped in history. Official Selection Venice International Film Festival 2026 - World premiere
