The mission of the Israel Film Festival is to enrich the American vision of Israeli life and culture, to spotlight Israel’s thriving film and television industry, and to promote cultural recognition of Israel through the powerful medium of film.

As an international entertainment industry event, the Festival has brought acclaim to both the films and participants, and has opened new possibilities for cooperation and co-production between the U.S. and Israeli film industries.

Each year, the Festival explores Israeli society by premiering Israeli features, documentaries, television dramas and student shorts, and through conversations with visiting Israeli filmmakers in three major U.S. cities: Los Angeles, New York and Miami.

Jim Carrey, Anchal Joseph Dating? (Colby Models)

Friday, January 21st, 2011

A model rebound, if true.

Jim Carrey, who broke up with Jenny McCarthy in April, was photographed Thursday night in New York holding hands with Anchal Joseph, a former ‘America’s Next Top Model’ contestant.

Joseph is 24-years old — Carrey is 49.

If they are dating, it will be Carrey’s third public appearance with a woman — he was photographed cuddling with an unidentified brunette in October and then with a blonde in New York just last week — since the split with McCarthy, which she spoke out about months after it went down. In September,McCarthy told Oprah that their relationship “wasn’t fun,” and in October, said that she “was pretending” with the comedy legend.

There’s been more action for McCarthy since the breakup. She dated Jason Tohey for four monthsbefore splitting with the bodybuilder in December; now, she’s dating sports agent Paul Kerepelka. To see Anchal Joseph’s Modeling Portfolio on Colby Models Click Here
