Cupcakes (feature)
Dir: Eytan Fox / 2013 / Israel / 92 min  / DCP

Eytan Fox (Yossi & Jagger) directs this adorable comedy filled with camp, brightly colored wigs, friendship, love and musical numbers. A group of neighbors get to together to watch a worldwide music competition and end up spontaneously creating “A Song for Anat” (actually written by Babydaddy from Scissor Sisters) to cheer up one of the group. The next thing they know they and their song have been chosen to represent Israel at the competition finals in France. Ronnie Scheib of Variety raved “Cupcakes celebrates the heady liberation of coming out of societal closets with song, decor, and romantic resolutions.”

providing our closing night event with delicious cupcakes!
