Ayelet's televison (video) & public appearances

The 26th Jerusalem Film Festival kicks off Thursday night at the Sultan's Pool Amphitheater in Jerusalem, with guests, awards, fireworks - and movies.

The festival, which runs until July 18, 2009 will open with A Matter of Size (Sipur Gadol), an Israeli film directed by Sharon Maymon and Erez Tadmor.
Another opening-night attraction will be Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer, who will be on hand for the festivities. She is the first Israeli to cross over into major Hollywood success and recently starred with Tom Hanks in Angels & Demons, the much-awaited sequel to The Da Vinci Code. Her latest film, an American indie called Lightbulb, will be shown at this year's festival.

At the opening ceremony, the festival's founder and president Lia van Leer awarded Ayelet with an achievement prize.


Zurer, who arrived in Israel from the United States in order to take part in the event, said that as an Israeli actress working abroad and as a cultural ambassador, she understands now more than ever the importance of Israeli cinema. "Please don't hurt Israeli cinema," she pleaded.
