Movies
Flash
After its release has been postponed several times (in part due to the problematic actions of its main star, Ezra Miller), the new DC superhero movie will focus this time on the super-fast Barry, who uses his powers to go back in time - and change past events. The act changes the space-time continuum and causes him to find himself battling General Zod, who starred as the villain in 2013's Man of Steel, with Supergirl and even two Batmen (Michael Keaton and Ben Affleck), in a movie full of immersive and fun action with moments that will thrill any comic book fan.

Tyler Rick: Rescue 2
The skilled commando fighter, played by Chris Hemsworth, returns in the sequel to the excellent 2020 action movie, which became one of the biggest hits of the year. Sam Hargrave returns as director, this time Tyler tries to rescue the imprisoned family of a ruthless mobster in a mission that could cost him his life. Get ready for a lot of adrenaline.
Available on Netflix
Elemental
The new film from the beloved and acclaimed animation studio Pixar takes place in the city of Element City, where residents of fire, water, air and earth live together. It focuses on the witty and sharp Firewoman Amber and the sensitive and jovial Waterman Wade, who discover that despite the many contrasts that exist between them, they are actually very similar, and can fall in love, despite the resistance that exists around them. Beyond the visual richness of the film, it manages to warm the heart, amuse and even emotion, and at the same time provides criticism against racism.

Who Killed Maggie Moore?

Yasmin Mualem - No World
A little more than three years after the release of her first album, this talented singer-songwriter returns with her second album, all 12 songs of which she wrote and composed (either alone or with others). Her quick breakthrough led her to write from her personal perspective about the fame she gained by surprise, about the new family she founded and motherhood, and about the inner demons that accompany her on her life journey.
With tons of emotion and sincerity and an extraordinary musical ability to create songs that are touching (thanks in no small part to music producer Yishai Suissa, who worked with her on the album) and highly addictive (expect "Tsunami" with Margi to be a huge hit), Mualem proves that she is here to stay - and to do it in the best way possible.

Klau performing in Israel
The Icelandic blues-rock band, which broke out worldwide in 2016 with the hit "Way Down We Go", will hold its first show in Israel. Since that hit, the band has held great promise in the genre, releasing several more hits, warming up none other than the Rolling Stones, and even receiving a Grammy Award nomination for the song "No Good". Even more than 10 years after its inception, this band sounds more refreshing than ever.
Thursday, Raanana Amphitheater
Hatikva 6 launches their new album
A moment after releasing its eighth album ("Partners for Life", which includes the hits "Don't Live Twice" and "Life Is Now"), and on the occasion of 20 years on stage, the successful band will celebrate the occasion with a special show with guests Avraham Tal, Hadag Nahash and Infected Machrom.
With hits and songs from all their albums, the band is about to lift the crowd to its feet in a huge musical celebration.
Saturday, Caesarea Amphitheater
Boris Barcha at a show in Israel
14 years after he first performed in Israel and became a household member here, the German DJ is back for another round. The thousands of Israelis expected to attend his techno show will once again have to justify the special love they receive from Barcha, who once said of the local audience that "no matter what, he doesn't stop dancing."
Even before he takes the stage with his famous mask on, local and international DJs will also play it, at a party that is expected to last all night. There will be a baldness.
Thursday, Pavilion 1, Expo Tel Aviv
New album for Queens of the Stone Age
The American rock band returns with their eighth album, In Times New Roman..., which comes out almost six years after the release of their previous album, which they produced themselves. The two songs released from the album prior to its release, "Emotion Sickness" and "Carnavoyeur", proved that once again the band has no intention of taking its foot off the distortion gas, and that even after almost 30 years on stage it certainly knows how to give a head.

Exhibitions
House of Colors
After his exhibition "The Color Hunter" was a huge success, the new exhibition by Druze artist Sam Halabi has already conquered the masses, and has become one of the biggest phenomena in the Israeli art world in recent times.
Halabi covered every single wall from the four floors of the building where he was born and raised in Dalit al-Carmel with hundreds of shades of color. The visit between the rooms of the house gives the audience a sense of true family, through which he preserves the memory of the people who lived there, without giving importance to the material.

Zumo - the museum on the way
About 70 artists will exhibit their works in the huge exhibition of the Traveling Museum, which will deal with the various implications of tourism in the historical and current perception of Acre as a hospitality city and the relationship between guest and host, between traditional and contemporary, and between local and foreign. The exhibition, which is free to enter, will be spread over two floors and will deal with the aspiration to escape from reality and will also reflect its complexities critically.
