The [Ophir] award for best film, as well as five other prizes, was given to “Hayam”, a film about a 12-year-old Palestinian boy from the occupied West Bank who wants to travel to Tel Aviv to see the sea for the first time.

Winning best film means it will now automatically become Israel’s entry for the Academy Awards in the international film category next year.
