1st trailer for “Bethlehem” Israel’s Oscar entry

U.S. distributor Adopt Films has provided Deadline with its first official trailer for Yuval Adler’s Bethlehem, the entertainment news agency said.

The director’s feature debut won six Israeli Academy Awards earlier this year and is Israel’s entry for the Foreign Language Oscar. The film focuses on an Israeli Secret Service officer and his teenage Palestinian informant, the younger brother of a sought-after militant. Bethlehem is still in theaters in Israel following its September bow and has been buzzed about for a slot on the Foreign Language shortlist.

It’s set for a February 21st release in the U.S.
