Jamie Bell stars in the true life story of Bryon Widner, a young man raised by skinheads, for whom turning his back on hatred and violence meant undergoing painful and expensive operations to remove the tattoos that signified his terrible past life - a process only possible with the support of a Black activist.

Following his Academy Award win for a short film of the same name, Guy Nattiv writes and Direct this breath taking film that receives great reviews in the US & worldwide: "Bell delivers an awards-buzzed tour de force” - Rolling Stone.

Filmography: Magic Men (W ErezTadmor 2014), The Flood (2010), Strangers (W Erez Tadmor 2007).

Screening in the presence of the director.


Masterclass with Guy Nativ will follow the screening, at The Festival Garden at 6:15PM.

Nattiv will speak with film journalist Avner Shavit about the two Skins - long and short, about the creative process and the move to the US. A Q&A session with the audience will follow their conversation.
