- The Band's Visit: Making the Fairy Tale
- Photo Gallery
Winner of 35 International Film Awards!
"Egypt invades Israel - this time to make music. If this film doesn't delight and touch you, maybe you should have your heart examined." - Richard Corliss (TIME magazine)
A brass band comprised of members of the Egyptian police force head to Israel to play at the inaugural ceremony of an Arab arts center. But due to bureaucracy, bad luck, or for whatever reason, find themselves stranded in a desolate, almost forgotten, small Israeli town, somewhere in the heart of the desert.
This heartwarming and poignant winner of the Cannes Film Festival Un Certain Regard prize is the mesmerizing and witty story of strangers in a strange land. A fading Egyptian police band arrives in Israel to play at the Arab Cultural Center. When they take the wrong bus, the band members find themselves in a desolate Israeli village. With no other option than to spend the night with the local townspeople, the two distinctly different cultures realize the universal bonds of love, music and life. Set against a breathtaking desert landscape, this cross-cultural comedy proves that getting lost is sometimes the best way to find yourself.
The Band's Visit (Bikur Ha-Tizmoret), an original Israeli comedy/drama.
