JIFF26 Where To?

A brilliant and astutely observed gem about unlikely friendship which won Best Film at the 2026 Jerusalem Film Festival, Where To? follows Hassan, a Palestinian Uber driver, and Amir, a young Israeli living in Berlin, as they chance upon each other over the course of two years.  Hassan ferries people across Berlin’s labyrinthine streets as Amir, far from home and on a personal journey of discovery, keeps reappearing in his back seat. Their late-night encounters give the two men an opportunity to learn about each other’s pasts and circumstances, and they develop an unlikely friendship and a gentle rapport that transcends language and cultural barriers.  Soundtracked by delicate melodies by musician Habib Hanna Shehadeh, Where To? is a story about communication beyond language, the importance of listening to one another in times of deep division, and finding new ways to move forward.
