Cheryl, a young black lesbian, works a day job in a video store while trying to make a film about a black actress from the 1930s known for playing the stereotypical “mammy” roles relegated to black actresses during that period. This was the first feature film directed by an “out” black lesbian.

This film is presented in English with English subtitles.

Haim Tabakman’s breathtaking, award winning debut film Eyes Wide Open is a gay love story set in the heart of Jerusalem’s ultra-Orthodox Jewish community. Winner of Best Film award at the Palm Springs Film Festival, Eyes Wide Open is a powerful film that the New York Times calls “a quiet and confident debut feature that explores the conflict between sexual desire and religious obligation.”
