    For the third year in a row, an Israeli film has been nominated for Best Foreign Language Film. The Silicon Valley Jewish Film Festival, with its commitment to year-round programming, is pleased to bring Ajami to the Silicon Valley. This is your opportunity to enjoy an Oscar® nominee from Israel, three days before the Academy Awards® ceremony! Ajami is a mostly-Israeli Arab neighborhood of Jaffa (Yafo), and the story is a gripping look at life in the "'hood". The film portrays the crime, the loyalties, and the many challenges that exist between the people of the neighborhood -- some, in the context of the broader Middle East situation.

    This film, seven years in the making, was written by Scandar Copti, an Israeli Arab, and Yaron Shani, an Israeli Jew. These two relative newcomers have already garnered a Golden Camera: Special Mention at the prestigious 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
