This one over in Asia! We're so international.
Obviously, when N passed the news along, I realized that I would have to brag:
2.1 Films is thrilled to announce that 'Tehilim' has won the Grand Prize at the Tokyo FilmEx Competition on Sunday night!
In addition to presenting the award to the director, Raphael Nadjari, the festival's jury issued the following statement:
"The mysterious loss of the father of an average Israeli family brings to the fore a universal problem of today's world - the lack of orientation. It is left to the individual whether to see this as a human subject matter, an intimate story or a reflection of Israeli society today. It is told in a personal style, which - as world cinema- transgresses borders and religions."
In addition, 'Tehilim' will be premiering in New York in January. Please stay tuned for more infomation and showtimes!
"the film gets under your skin, and stays with you, as if you were part of it."
- Joan Dupont, International Herald Tribune
"Raphael Nadjari enters today into the realm of the greats."
- Ciné live
"A metaphysical fable which cultivates emotion."
- Elle

Dragonology: Tracking and Taming Dragons: A Deluxe Book and Model Set
Author: Dr. Ernest Drake
Editor: Dugald Steer
Publisher: Candlewick Press
The latest in the Dragonolgy series, Tracking and Taming Dragons has a wonderful little guide that has all you need to know about finding these magical creatures. The model is fun and easy to put together. My grandchildren and I had a blast doing it. The lovely green dragon with golden scales now hangs proudly in my bedroom so that when they come over it’s the first thing they see.
The accompanying handbook is wonderfully illustrated and as usual packed with interesting facts about dragons. We loved the section that showed how to make casts of dragon footprints. I’m sure it will prove very useful in our jaunts to the park. I had to promise to buy the stuff and I expect we’ll be spending some time making casts of the various neighborhood dog and cat paw prints this summer.
I think this set is very educational, whimsical and fun as well as a wonderful addition to the Ologies series.
