A celebrated Israeli filmmaker named Y arrives in a remote desert village to present one of his films at a local library. Struggling to cope with the recent news of his mother’s terminal illness, he is pushed into a spiral of rage when the host of the screening, a government employee, asks him to sign a form placing restrictions on what he can say at the film’s Q&A. Told over the course of one day, the film depicts Y as he battles against the loss of freedom in his country and the fear of losing his mother.

Israeli Identity in Motion: The Films of Nadav Lapid is generously sponsored by IATSE 856 Manitoba.

Reviews

Ahed's Knee is filmmaking as hostage-taking. If such language seems charged, this is Nadav Lapid: All language is charged.
– Jessica Kiang, Variety
cuts to the heart of Lapid’s visceral genius and cauterizes the open wound at the center of his body of work.
- David Ehrlich, Indiewire
A blistering work of meta filmmaking.
- Rory O’ Connor, The Film Stage
I've felt so much rage and nihilism lately over how little agency I have to fix global problems... Nadav Lapid's latest, Ahed's Knee, bottles this frustrated feeling better than any other piece of art I've seen in the last few years.
– Orla Smith, Seventh Row
