Michale Boganim, a young Franco-Israeli filmmaker, follows the journeys of Odessa’s Jewish community, exiled from Israel and the United States. She offers a nostalgic and touching triptych of these cities in three colors: blue Odessa, with the faded beauty of an old city, Little Odessa, a Russian enclave in brick-colored New York, and Ashdod, a glaringly white mushroom town that has strung up in the Israeli desert.

Five Unmissable Istanbul Paintings of Félix Ziem

Félix Ziem is accepted as one of the well-known artists of the romantic landscape painting, and has been followed closely by art lovers and collectors of all periods since. He had a profound influence on generations of artists after him, and was the first artist whose works were acquired by the Louvre while he was still alive.
