STOCKHOLM, Israel’s record-smashing TV mini-series and the first Israeli TV show to premier at TIFF, is coming to the Santa Fe JFF! Join us for a TV “binge” afternoon (including refreshments) and find out why critics loved this dark comedy.

“Just days before the laureates are announced, a leading contender for the Nobel Prize in Economics is found dead in his bed. His four closest friends decide to keep him “alive” a little bit longer for the one thing he wanted more than anything.

Director Daniel Syrkin and his accomplished cast, including award winning actor Sasson Gabay (star of the Tony Award winning musical, The Band’s Visit), strike the perfect balance in tone, lending chutzpah to the comedy behind serious topics. Playing like a Jewish version of The Big Chill for an older demographic, Stockholm is, above all, an endearing portrait of friendship in the twilight years.” Michael Lerman – TIFF
