"Hommage Award"
Cannes Film Festival

What the critics are saying!

"This first major success of the young Israeli cinema is superbly directed."
                                                                                                        -Georges Sadoul

"Hill 24... feels more like an exceptionally delicate melodrama with a rich sense of place. Like Hitchcock, Dickinson makes the most of place- the chases through those hilly streets in Jerusalem, for instance." -Martin Scorsese

"Dickinson's film is a small-scale masterpiece, an intriguing examination of motivation and heroism in the midst of deadly ideological struggle."
               -"1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die," Steven Jay Schneider, editor

"Presents Israel and the brave men and women who fought for its survival in golden hues and in a heroic light. . . . It is straightforward in its intentions, genuine in its ideology."-Canadian Jewish News

"An uncommonly forthright and absorbing tribute to largely unsung valor."
                                                                                                        -New York Times

"The New York Times called it 'an uncommonly forthright and absorbing tribute to largely unsung valor.' Six decades later, it remains this--and perhaps even more."                                                                                                       -The Forward

"The first movie I was taken to see as a child, back in 1955, was "Hill 24 Doesn't Answer," an inspiring drama of the War of Independence in which a beautiful young [Shoshana] Damari played [a Druze woman]. . . . If a media overdose of Muslim cartoon riots, plus Iranian nuke-rattling Holocaust denial, should cast a dark shadow on your day, try getting hold of "Hill 24 Doesn't Answer" -Stuart Schoffman
