Gett - The Trial of Viviane Amsalem
Screenings
In Israel, civil marriage and civil divorce don't exist. Only rabbis have the authority to pronounce a marriage or its dissolution, on the condition that the husband has given his full consent. Consequently, the husband holds more power than the judges. Viviane Amsalem filed for divorce three years ago. Her husband, Elisha, has refused to consent to it ever since. His cold intransigence, Viviane's fight for her freedom, and the ambiguous role of judges affect a procedure where the tragic vies with the absurd, where everything is judged but the original query.
Note: GETT will be shown in its original language version with German subtitles.
Screening in collaboration with the Human Rights Film Festival Zurich www.humanrightsfilmfestival.ch
