Atlanta Jewish Film Festival – The Future

In this intense chamber piece intertwining politics, technology, and psychological drama, a renowned Israeli profiler squares off with a Palestinian assassin. As Israel gears up for its inaugural moon mission, the shocking murder of the space minister leads to an unexpected confession from Yaffa (Samar Qupty), a young Arab student from the West Bank. Nurit (Reymond Amsalem), a scientist behind The Future Project aimed at detecting terrorist activities, interviews unapologetic Yaffa, suspecting there’s more to her story. Their tense interactions unravel startling truths, as Israel’s lunar mission reaches its apex. Anchored by riveting lead performances, this thought-provoking metaphor for the Arab-Israeli conflict explores themes of liberation, motherhood, and personal crises.
