Hi there,
The second season of "Art on Screen", a celebration of dance, musicals, music and art from around the world projected on a large screen is opening this summer at the Tel-Aviv Museum of Art for five days full of 16 exciting events.
The festival was the realization of a long-held dream of Caroline Boneh, CEO of Eden Cinema. Caroline Boneh, initiator and organizer of the French Film Festival and the French comedy festival "Oh là là". For many years, Boneh has dreamed that, in addition to distributing films, she will produce and curate an event that will bring to Israel focused screenings of shows and films about art as never before seen on stages in Israel.
"WHEN: Originally planned for August 10-14, 2021 at the Tel-Aviv Museum of Art
NOW
November 19-20 and 26-27, 2021
And now after the break that was forced on us, the "Art on Screen" festival is returning to a new place - the Tel Aviv Museum of Art. The festival will take place over five days during which musicals, music performances, dance performances, opera and exhibitions will be screened. The audience sitting in the cinema hall will be able to experience the most impressive and best productions as they were shown overseas, to see the musicals and dance performances from the West End, Paris, Lyon, and St. Petersburg. The fine photography that was pre-designed for the cinema screen combined with reasonable price, compared to the expensive prices of tickets to the live shows. Some of the shows were filmed with audiences in theaters just before their closures around the world.
What will you be able to see this season?

But in the end, their most sensational achievement is their friendship. This unmissable musical theatre event celebrates a joyous story of British grit transforming into a high-heeled hit as it takes you from the factory floor of Northampton to the glamorous catwalks of Milan!
