SHALOM
Israel 2026 – Director: Meital Zvieli – Original language: Arabic, French, Hebrew – Subtitles: English – Length: 80 min.
Shalom, the rhinoceros at the Jerusalem Bible Zoo, is a crowd favorite. At 45, Shalom has grown old and weary. The caretakers who lovingly tend to him discuss euthanasia while war breaks out beyond the zoo’s walls. SHALOM is a sensitive parable about captivity and care—and a utopian vision of peaceful life together. M.H.
