8PM: SHORT FILM - SUMMER VACATION (2012, 22 min) by Israeli directors Tal Granit and Sharon Maymon spotlights a married man who must come to terms with his gay identity when his ex-lover unexpectedly turns up on a beach holiday. The film— which premiered in competition at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival and was then nominated for an Oscar — is inspired by filmmaker Maymon’s own struggle to come out as a gay man 11 years ago. Back then, he began envisioning what would become his 2009 feature-length film, “A Matter of Size,” in which a group of overweight people learn to accept themselves as they are — an endeavor Maymon was undertaking as a gay man at a time when homosexuality was more frowned upon by Israeli society.
