KATHMANDU: This is the last day of the Israeli film festival that is being held at the Russian Cultural Centre. Free passes are available at the venue.

Policeman Azulai and Bonjour, Monsieur Shlomi will be screened on March 30 at 3:30 pm and 5:45 pm respectively. The films will have English subtitles.

Azulai is a policeman in Jaffa, whose incompetence is only matched by his sof-heartedness. His superiors want to send him to early retirement, but he would like to stay on the force, and the criminals of Jaffa don’t want to see him leave either.

Shlomi, 16, lives with his mother, his soldier brother and their ill grandfather. Although not doing well in school, Shlomi is a gifted cook and takes care of most household chores. The school’s principal finds out Shlomi is a genius and tries to get him into a more suitable curriculum. However, Shlomi is more interested in taking care of his family and his new love interest.

A summer night in 1962 becomes the focal point in the lives of four small town California teenagers as they face decisions about the directions of their lives. Steve, wants to break up with

Laurie, his high school sweetheart and pursue new experiences. Curt, is hesitant about going away to school. John, tries to maintain his “too cool for school” image as a hip guy. There’s Terry, the nerdy wannabe trying to fit in but who manages to screw up. During the course of the evening, their individual stories intertwine and separate leaving nothing the same.

This is American Graffiti that will be screened on March 30 at the American library at 9:00 am as part of the American Movie Month.
