Four films will be screened on the last day of Seret DC: A Celebration of Contemporary Israeli Cinema, presented by the Washington Jewish Film Festival. “Atomic Falafel” is about a nuclear showdown between Israel and Iran, a scenario that would not normally score high on the laugh-riot meter. But writer-director Dror Shaul manages to raise the weighty premise to high levels of absurdity in this farcical comedy.
