Edward Berger To Address Israel’s Sam Spiegel International Film Lab
All Quiet on the Western front helmer Edward Berger is to host a masterclass at the launch of the 12th edition of Israel’s Sam Spiegel International Film Lab. Coming amidst the devastating Israel-Gaza crisis, the lab, which has in the past unearthed big Israeli hits, has also unveiled its projects lineup, including shows from Poland, the Netherlands, Croatia, France, Hungary and Israel. Berger will give a masterclass to all participants, fresh off the back of his Oscar for Netflix’s All Quiet on the Western Front and coming as war rages in Israel. “We believe in the power of storytelling, freedom of speech and creative expression, to be able to hold complex situations like the current war in Israel, and believe an international meeting point for young filmmakers is of major importance these days,” said Mor Eldar, the lab’s director.
