Nativ (the Liaison Bureau of Israel) and the Israeli Embassy in Kiev presented an Ukraine premiere screening of Operation Wedding with Russian subtitles.
I have a special connection to "Nativ". It was thanks to "Nativ" that my father was saved from death sentence in 1970.

I WAS THERE IN SPIRIT when Operation Wedding won
BEST FEATURE DOCUMENTARY at International Filmmaker Festival of New York! (Physically I was in Kiev)
We are so honored to receive the award for Best Feature Documentary International Filmmaker Festival of New York! (IFFNY)
I'm only sorry that I couldn't be there, as I was on a film tour in East Europe, scheduled before we knew we'll be participating at IFFNY.
The Award Gala was hosted at the prestigious Kaufman Astoria Studio.
Accepting the award on our behalf from World Jewish Congress were Rafael and Mira Nekctalov, former Soviet refuseniks.
