Guest Speaker
Idan Tzameret, former lieutenant in the Israel Defense Forces. Tzameret grew up in Samaria and joined the IDF West Bank special forces Duvdevan in 1997. Serving as a platoon commander, and as company second in command, Tzameret also received a brigade commendation for leading a complicated operation during operation Defensive Shields.

About the Film
A psychedelic Mossad comedy based on the true unknown stories of Jewish American spies, inspired by the filmmakers’ own experience as Americans who joined the Israeli Special Forces, feeling the clash between American culture and Israeli machismo.

Innovative in style, this fast paced stylized mystery has been acclaimed as “a Wed Anderson-ish espionage romp,” (The Hollywood Reporter) and as “an outrageously funny spin on the spy genre.” (Austin Film Festival)
