Mark your calendars for February 9 because the Greenville Jewish Film Festival is rolling out the red carpet to feature an incredible film that you won’t want to miss.

Run, Don’t Walk, to Camelot Cinemas

The star of the show, Running on Sand, is a remarkable film that has even snagged a nomination for the prestigious Israeli Academy Award for Best Film. The screening is set to take place at 4 p.m. at the cozy Camelot Cinemas, located at 48 E. Antrim Drive, Greenville, SC. It’s your chance to experience the magic of cinema in a comfy setting with fellow movie buffs!

A Heartfelt Journey

So, what’s Running on Sand all about? This poignant film follows the life of Aumari, a young Eritrean refugee who finds himself in Israel. In a delightful twist of fate, Aumari is mistakenly identified as a professional soccer player who has come to help the Maccabi Netanya team. But let’s be real—Aumari has no soccer experience whatsoever! Instead of dribbling with finesse, he’s more of a fish out of water on the field.

As the story unfolds, viewers will find themselves captivated by themes of identity, love, and the bond of sports. It raises thought-provoking questions and intertwines the experiences of refugees with the vibrant world of sports—making for an enriching cinematic experience. This film is set to remind us of our shared humanity and the pursuits that connect us all.
