A debut feature film from celebrated shorts director Ma’Ayan Rypp, The Other Widow is a dark, comedic drama about a modern single woman and her quest to define herself after loss. Ella (Dana Ivgy, Zero Motivation BJFF 2014, Cinema Sabaya, BIFF 2022) is a 34 year old theater dresser whose lover dies suddenly. Keeping her identity secret, she attends her lover’s Shiva, steeping herself into a world that was once forbidden to her. Ella shares intimate moments with her lover’s parents, brother, and, most notably, his wife (Ania Bukstein, A Quiet Heart, BJFF 2017). In this coming-of-age story, Ella eventually realizes she will need to reveal her secret so she can properly mourn and go on with her life.
Nominated for 9 Israeli Ophirs, 2023.
Followed by a pre-recorded conversation with Director Ma’ayan Rypp, and actors Dana Ivgy and Ania Bukstein, moderated by BJF Artistic Director Lisa Gossels.
