Tiberias is a gritty and beautiful city situated on the sun-drenched western shores of the Sea of Galilee. A hotspot for Christian pilgrims and global tourists, the relatively small city bustles with activity. "The World is Funny" is the first Israeli feature I've seen that takes place in Tiberias and it captures the town's warmth while keeping the focus on the community, not the resort destination. It's pretty easy to see why "The World is Funny" was huge box office hit in Israel. Featuring a large, goodlooking ensemble dealing with modern day, relatable problems– the commercial appeal is undeniable.
