Israeli director Eran Kolirin's (right) debut feature "The Band's Visit" revolves around an Egyptian band who finds themselves temporarily homeless after their hosts from an Israeli cultural center are nowhere to be found after they arrive at the airport. Stranded in a tiny Israeli desert town, the band reluctantly decides to stay the night until a bus can pick them up the next morning. While there, however, they encounter a self assured and witty cafe owner who challenges their ideas about womanhood and cultural assumptions on the part of both the band and village are shaken. Producer Ehud Bleiberg (left) and star Ronit Elkabetz (who plays the self-assured woman) and producer Eilon Ratzkovsky joined Kolirin earlier in the fest in Toronto for Sony Classics' annual dinner in honor of their TIFF slate.
