A kidnapped woman returned from captivity, women who escaped the Taliban and the secrets of the Jerusalem cemetery: Docaviv 2025 kicks off

The Docaviv Festival, which opens in May, will screen films about the "Orna Valle" restaurant, the street artist Know Hope, and the only Jew convicted of being a Nazi war criminal, among other things.

The festival, which will be held May 22-31 at the Tel Aviv Cinematheque and throughout the city, will premiere more than 100 documentary films from Israel and abroad and 36 new original Israeli films. • This year, for the first time, Docaviv's image is designed by an Israeli artist.
