Director Assaf Saban's film, "The Delegation", will compete for the "Crystal Bear" award at the Berlin Film Festival, which is considered one of the three most important film festivals in the world.
The film tells the story of three high school students who go on a trip to Poland with the school delegation.
Between the extermination camps and the memorial sites, they go through their own personal journey, face fears and celebrate their youth, which will suddenly come to an end.
"The Delegation" is the only Israeli film accepted this year and will compete in the long-standing competition "Generation", which is dedicated to stories of coming of age and teenagers.
"This is a coming-of-age film about a strange and special experience that I went through myself as a teenager, and which is shared by so many people who grew up and were educated in this country. I am extremely excited that the trip to Poland of this delegation is expected to start soon and meet the audience. The fact that it is going to happen in Berlin, makes this trip Between the past and the present is particularly complex and exciting," said Assaf Saban.
The 73rd Berlin Festival will be held from February 16-25.
