The MVFF's Fall Film Showcase: Running on Sand

Grange Hall 1067 State Rd, West Tisbury, Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts, USA

A four-time Israeli Film Academy award nominee, this film is a heartwarming comedy about mistaken identity. It follows Aumari, a young Eritrean refugee who is mistaken for a professional soccer player and ends up revitalizing the struggling Israeli team he joins. As he also falls for the team owner's daughter, he grapples with the fear of his true identity being discovered. Starring up-and-coming Israeli-Congolese actor Chancela Mongoza and other African migrants, the film combines humor with a poignant glimpse into the life of immigrants.
