The Damned
Part of the 2019 Boston Jewish Film Festival.
In the newest film by Evegny Ruman (The Man in the Wall, BJFF2015), three Israeli soldiers are sent on a mission to navigate a desert. The routine exercise takes place near an evacuated Bedouin village, rumored to have been cursed. When unexplained events begin to take place around them, the soldiers’ journey becomes darker and more disturbing and the expansive desert becomes increasingly claustrophobic.
