Jerusalem is Proud to Present
Nitzan Gilady / Israel / 2007 / 82 min / Hebrew

In the summer of 2006, Jerusalem was supposed to host the World Pride festival for the first time in its history and this was meant to culminate in a gay pride parade. The festival, however, met with enormous resistance from representatives of the Jewish, Muslim and Christian religious communities. This documentary film shows the determination and bravery of the parade's organizers from the Open House Association. For them, in an escalating atmosphere of homophobia and in the face of threats and violence, holding the march became something a lot more fundamental than just freely expressing their opinion. Director Nitzan Gilady gives us a unique view of preparations for a festival celebrating tolerance in conservative society.
