If Israel is a culinary superpower, Tel Aviv is its Capital. Between the falafel stands and the gourmet restaurants that earn multiple forks in the Gault ? Millau guide ? not to mention a wide spectrum of Chinese, Italian, seafood and meat restaurants ? a unique culinary culture has blossomed, unmatched by any other food mecca.

The Haifa International Film Festival brings together each year an ever-growing audience of 60,000 spectators along with hundreds of Israeli and foreign professionals from the film and television industries. 180,000 people in total take part in the activities of the festival, including the outdoor events, screenings, workshops and more, and dozens of journalists from both the print and broadcast media, from Israel and abroad, cover the event. During its eight days of celebration, the Festival proudly premieres 150 new films from the best and most recent international productions and holds 220 screenings in seven theaters and under the sky: feature films, documentaries, animation, short films, retrospectives and tributes.
