Cedar received international attention with the release of his 2007 film "Beaufort" (shown at TI's 2009 Israeli film event). The roots of his craft provide thoughtful treatment of the delicate issues of Israeli society. Israeli film critic Yair Rave said Cedar's films "merge the Israeli spirit ... with the universal cinematic codes."

Tikvat Israel secured screening rights this winter for his two earliest films, both award winners, which examine religiosity in the military and fervor among settlers, as two sides of the same coin and how Israelis view their relationship with their nation and HaShem.

"Time of Favor" examines a psychologically complex love triangle in the middle of terrorist conflict in Israel's West Bank. The film focuses on a religious Israeli Defense Forces unit.

The second film to be shown is Campfire, to be shown on Jan 23 - click here to read more.
