Oklahoma Jewish Film Festival - The Monkey House

Nominated for 11 Israeli Ophir Awards, similar to the Academy Awards, director Avi Nesher’s entertaining and often comedic new film is a mix between a literary mystery and a character study. Adir Miller plays Amitai, a well-known novelist whose popularity is dwindling. Attempting to avoid obscurity, he tries to revive his fading career by launching a highly inventive scam. He recruits a reckless actress and trains her to pose as his biographer and the two become entangled in a web of their own lies, forever altering their lives. Inspired by a true story.

Chairs: Steve Aberson and Brent Ortolani
