Israeli Film Festival: The Human Resources Manager — 2/16, 8 p.m.

Feb. 15, 2012 by lsbrown

Eran Riklis’ film, The Human Resources Manager, winner of 5 Israeli Academy Awards including Best Picture, is based on a novel by acclaimed Israeli writer, A. B. Yehosua. The film begins with the death of a Romanian immigrant in Israel. Although her death was not work related, an investigative reporter decides to publicize the case as an example of the cold-hearted approach of the company to its employees. The company’s human resources manager is sent to Romania to counter those accusations. On his quest to honor a woman he never met, the human resources manger discovers new qualities about himself and his job as a human resource manager.

The film is going to be screened on Thursday, February 16 at Goldsmith Family Cinema at 8 P.M. You can watch a trailer of this film at http://iff.site.wesleyan.edu

After the screening Rabbi Seth Haaz from Congregation Adath Israel in Middletown will discuss ethical issues arising from this film from a Judaic perspective.

Admission is free and all are welcomed. See you at the movies, Dalit Katz, Religion Department and Director of the Ring Family Wesleyan University Israeli Film Festival
