The Dryden will screen Abulele (Jonathan Geva, Israel 2015, 96 min., DCP, Hebrew w/ subtitles) as part of the Rochester International Jewish Film Festival.

Abulele has everything you would expect from a fantasy film. In this family-friendly story reminiscent of E.T., ten-year-old Adam meets Abulele, a friendly, huge, ancient, invisible monster. When he befriends and shelters this delightful mythical creature, he is able to outsmart bullies at school and to overcome his grief following his brother's death.
