TOURISM MINISTER STAS MISEZHNIKOV “The tourism potential for Israel from China is far from realized and one of the goals of the ministry for 2013 is to break through into the Chinese market. Undoubtedly, the effect of a movie, shot in Israel with leading Chinese stars, will be greater and more significant that other alternative marketing activities”.A well-known Chinese production company is set to shoot scenes in Israel next month for a Chinese epic called “Old Cinderella” that is expected to be a blockbuster movie thanks to the stars such as Zhang Jingchu (“Rush Hour 3”) and director Lu Chuan. More than 15 of the 95 minutes in the movie are expected to feature scenes shot in Israel. During a recce in Israel in January 2013, the production team chose Tel Aviv-Jaffa, Jerusalem and the Dead Sea as their locations. 22 members of the production team and cast will arrive in Israel on 16 April for a week of filming, assisted by a local film production company.

Artistic Director and Choreographer of the BatSheva Dance Company, Ohad Naharin, has done it again. Beginning early April, his latest work, “The Hole”, will be presented twice daily in a most unusual setting at the Varda Hall at Tel Aviv’s Suzanne Dellal Dance Center.
One of the greatest surprises in “the Hole” (besides the title) is that the roles of the dancers alternate at each performance: the women take the male roles and the men take the female roles. That is not to say that you see women in tights and men in tutus, nor will men be pirouetting or women lifting the hefty men. You need to think out of the box to understand the gender-change concept, or else – see the performance, preferably twice.
