A coming-of-age drama set in Tel Aviv will screen this Sunday, July 11, at 7:30 p.m. the Martha’s Vineyard Hebrew Center as part of the Summer Institute’s film series. Eli and Ben was the opening film for the latest Boston Jewish Film Festival.

The Boston Phoenix said Eli and Ben had “ambiguity and edge. Young Eli (Yuval Shevach) and his days of minor school mischief collide with the real world when his architect father, Ben (Lior Ashkenazi), gets busted on what dad says is a framed-up charge of corruption.”

As he tries to exonerate his father, Eli encounters corruption, injustice and hypocrisy in both adults and children. In the process, he rediscovers his father and learns a subtle lesson about the nature of truth.

On July 18, the series features Ajami, a 2010 Oscar nominee for best foreign film.

Admission to the films is $10. The Hebrew Center is located on Centre street in Vineyard Haven.
