Yaniv

Southeast US Premiere

The most vivid and most enjoyable movies immerse us in a world and show us how that world works. The story of Yaniv does just that, tracing the journey of two desperate high-school teachers from the Bronx who become embroiled in a high-stakes caper that is way over their heads. Their misadventure begins with noble intentions, as they try, albeit unsuccessfully, to secure funding for a spring musical production for their students. Their unconventional solution? Infiltrating an underground card game called “Yaniv” run by an ultra-Orthodox Jewish group, all in pursuit of claiming the coveted prize money. However, despite their best-laid plans, chaos ensues, resulting in a riotous, comedic unraveling with moments of profound depth and heartwarming warmth.

Accompanying the film premiere is a discussion with director/co-writer Amnon Carmi and actor/co-writer Ben Ducoff. To view the conversation please click here.
