The festival, which runs until July 18, will open with A Matter of Size (Sipur Gadol), an Israeli film directed by Sharon Maymon and Erez Tadmor. It tells the story of weight-watchers in Ramle who become Sumo wrestlers, and is only the second Israeli film to open the festival (the first was Someone to Run With in 2006).
