FEATURE<br />

“Like an Israeli American Beauty…<br />

a poignant and political family drama”<br />

— The Hollywood Reporter<br />

Having retired after 27 years of military<br />

service, David faces existential uncertainty<br />

regarding his new civilian identity.<br />

Desperately seeking some form of catharsis,<br />

he innocuously sets into motion a series<br />

of events that plunges his family into the<br />

unknown. Beyond the Mountains and Hills<br />

toys with chance and misfortune and slowly<br />

lifts the façade of a seemingly perfect family.<br />

Nominated for six 2016 Ophir Awards<br />

(Israeli Oscars), this film premiered at<br />

Cannes Film Festival (Un Certain Regard).<br />

“...a subtle, exciting film about the life<br />

and works of A.B Yehoshua. This film<br />

is a fine companion to a great writer”<br />

— Amos Oz<br />

Hailed by The New York Times as ‘Israel’s<br />

Faulkner,’ and the recipient of the Israel<br />

Prize for Hebrew literature, A. B. Yehoshua<br />

is one of Israel’s most beloved authors.<br />

In this intimate portrait of the man known<br />

to his friends as ‘Bullie’, director Omri Lior<br />

offers invaluable insight into Yehoshua’s<br />

writing process and the meticulous research<br />

undertaken for each novel. Weaving together<br />

film adaptations with personal testament,<br />

Lior brings key scenes from the books to life,<br />

investing them with new meaning in light of<br />

the personal anecdotes that Yehoshua shares<br />

in his interviews with the director.<br />
