Come join Filmmakers Collaborative on Thursday, November 6, 6:15 pm at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston for a screening of the Israeli film “To See if I’m Smiling.” In person: Film subject Libi Abramov.

Six young Israeli women speak frankly about their experiences as combat soldiers stationed in Gaza and the West Bank. Like their male counterparts, they became intimate with violence as victims, witnesses, and perpetrators. Now, as civilians, they are dealing with its aftermath. The film, a disturbing but timely study of the effects of combat experience and an illuminating exploration of the psychology of violence, won the award for Best Documentary at the 2007 Haifa International Film Festival and the 2008 HotDocs Film Festival Special Jury Prize.
