Andy Warhol’s 1969 homoerotic Western romp Lonesome Cowboys, with Julian Burroughs, Eric Emerson, and Joe Dallesandro; first-time director Yair Hochner’s Yeladim tovim / Good Boys, the tale of two teenage hustlers in Tel Aviv; Elle 
Flanders’s Canadian-financed documentary Zero Degrees of Separation, about an Israeli woman who "views her country not with the hope of her parents but rather the sadness and disappointment of her Palestinian girlfriend"; plus the inevitable screening of Brokeback Mountain.
