These include Kan 11 spy drama "Tehran," the second season of which is streamed on Apple TV, Yes drama "The Beauty Queen of Jerusalem," which is also streamed on Netflix. 

Israeli television creator, writer, director, and producer Hagai Levi received a special award at the ceremony for his contribution to Israeli cinema. Levi is known, among other things, for co-producing and directing "Scenes from a Marriage," an American drama television for HBO starring Oscar Isaac and Jessica Chastain. 

Founded in 1982 by actor and producer Meir Fenigstein, the Israel Film Festival is the largest showcase of Israeli cinema and television in North America. Over the years, it has become a bridge connecting leaders in the television industry with Israeli companies. 

The festival will run in theaters and virtually from May 5th-26th. The opening night kicked off with Israeli producer and director Avi Nesher's critically acclaimed "Image of Victory." 

Also included in the festival are Eran Kolirin's "Let it be morning," Ben Bachar 's "Saving Shuli," Nir Bergmann 's "Here We Are," Kobi Farag's "Queen Shoshana," and Shlomi Eldar's "Running with a spy."

In a ceremony that preceded the festival Jewish American actor Henry Winkler was awarded a lifetime achievement award. Winkler rose to fame by portraying Arthur "Fonzie" Fonzarelli on the American television series "Happy Days." He currently portrays acting coach Gene Cousineau on the HBO series "Barry."

Winkler thanked the audience for the award saying, "Film takes us to places we could never go. It creates a life that you dream about. It shows us how the world is living. To be an artist is to hold a mirror up to the world in order to give them a view of who we are as a community. And may there be peace."
