For the 17th time, a film from the Tisch School has been accepted to the Cannes Film Festival

The film "Kinship" was accepted to the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, as part of the La Cinéf competition, which is dedicated to the future generation of filmmakers. The competition was established within the Cannes Film Festival in 1998 and aims to discover the next generation of leading filmmakers and encourage the continuation of their original and innovative work. In addition, the film will have its local premiere this year at the International Student Film Festival in Tel Aviv as part of the Israeli competition.

"Kinship" examines the boundaries between a young daughter and her widowed father from a place of attachment and control. A new woman who emerges her father's life, for the first time since her mother's death, undermines the intimate and fragile bond between the two of them. The daughter will do everything in her power to restore her place in her father's life, and to be the center of his life again.
