The International Gay Film Festival, TLVfest, will be held at the end of October for the 17th time - this was announced today (Thursday).
This year, the festival is renewed with a new logo in the form of a seahorse, an animal that "is identified as the only animal that
changes its sex during an animal life. In general, this is an animal that symbolizes gender ploidy, equality and disposability - there is no other animal similar to it in nature," according to the announcement.
The festival will be opened by a world premiere screening of the film "Like There's No Tomorrow" by director Nitzan Giladi (Paper Wedding), which deals with three young men - played by Israel Oglebo, Dean Miroshnikov and Moran Rosenblatt - who flee a deadly hate crime in the midst of the Tel Aviv Pride Parade.
Both Rosenblatt and Miroshnikov were nominated for Ophir Awards this year for their role in the film.
The music for the film was composed by the icon of the gay community Ofer Nissim, his first experience in creating a soundtrack.
Therefore, the festival will take advantage of the opportunity and give him a special token of appreciation on the opening night.
"Besides the excellent script, direction and acting, one of the film's heroes is the dizzying soundtrack composed by Ofer Nissim, whose music has been the soundtrack of the gay community for decades," reasoned the award giant Yair Hochner, founder and director of the festival.
"Choosing 'Like There's No Tomorrow' as his first film project is an important and necessary statement. We decided to give the recognition award to Ofer Nissim for his contribution to the cultural life of the community. For his first Israeli film work which is nothing short of amazing, and we hope that he will continue to produce soundtracks for many more motion pictures in Israel and around the world".
