Takeaway

Synopsis

Jerry is a driver for a Chinese takeaway in Edinburgh, whose solitary shift begins as we go home. Through Jerry we glimpse a mysterious world, where nameless kitchen staff silently cook food that Jerry delivers to faceless customers, alone in the car, just his dreams for company..

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
