Alycia Kaback to MC the 25th Israel Film Festival Sponsor Reception

Saturday, March 5th, 2011

On March 5, 2011, at NYIT’s state-of-the-art Auditorium on Broadway, we will be celebrating a quarter-century of Israeli films and filmmakers with our family of sponsors and special guests. The evening includes a private screening of the award-winning film, The Matchmaker, directed by Avi Nesher. This event is our way of saying “Thank You” to our valued sponsors – without you, we could not keep Israeli cinema and culture thriving in the U.S.!

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.

For 25 years, the Festival has created an exciting and artistic platform for engaging diverse audiences with the richness of Israeli life and culture.

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
