Exclusive: The 34th Israel Film Festival Los Angeles has confirmed its line-up for this year’s edition, which will be held entirely online for the first time.
Running December 13 – 27, the fest will screen 23 features, including two U.S. premieres, Israel’s Oscar submission this year, Asia, as well as a number of past Ophir award winners. The event will also host Q&As after each film with talent.

If The Five Doctors was the perfect party, then Warriors Of The Deep is the bleary morning after where the whole world's in a spin.
This shouldn't be the case – it's got not one but Two! returning monsters from the Pertwee years.
