Master Class with Director Tom Nesher

After a short hiatus, PJFM and Penn Department of Cinema & Media Studies are back for another Master Class on filmmaking with special guest Tom Nesher. The daughter of Avi Nesher, considered by many to be Israel’s most acclaimed filmmaker, Tom has made waves in Israel this year with the release of her critically acclaimed, first feature film, COME CLOSER (2024), Israel’s Oscar selection for Best International Feature Film. The winner of four Ophir Awards (Israeli Academy Awards), including Best Picture and Best Director, COME CLOSER’s personal story of familial loss and stunning cinematography has catapulted the young filmmaker into one of the most promising directors this year. In this interactive workshop, Tom discusses Israeli cinema and the ins and outs of filmmaking in the 21st century.
