"A ceremony. From destruction to redemption." Kino Lorber has unveiled the official US trailer for an indie film called Yes, the latest unique creation from the mind of award-winning Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid (following Synonyms, Ahed's Knee). Yes premiered in the Directors' Fortnight sidebar at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival last year and it also played at tons of other fests including Karlovy Vary, Munich, AFI Fest, and more. A jazz musician known as Y. and his dancer wife Jasmine offer their wild artistic talents to help their nation after the October 7 attacks, with the musician tasked with composing a new national anthem. "One of international cinema's most fearless and provocative filmmakers, Nadav Lapid has long been an outspoken critic of his birth country's government policies, channeling a lifetime of fury & frustration into vital films like Synonyms and Ahed's Knee that brim with righteous anger, spite, and shame." And this film is one of his most critical works yet. Starring Ariel Bronz, Efrat Dor, Naama Preis, Alexey Serebryakov.
