Naïve has released a soundtrack album for the Tel Aviv/Beirut. The album features the film’s original music composed by Israeli jazz musician Avishai Cohen (C’est la vie!). The soundtrack is now available to stream/download here, where you can also check out audio samples. Tel Aviv/Beirut is directed by Michale Boganim and stars Zalfa Seurat, Sarah Adler, Sofia Essaïdi, Younes Bouab, Shlomi Elkabetz and Cohen himself. The movie is set against the backdrop of the Israeli-Lebanese conflict in 1982 and 2006 and centers on two families on each side of the border whose fate intertwined because of the war raging in Lebanon. The drama premiered at last year’s Tokyo International Film Festival and was released in France earlier this month. No word yet on a domestic distribution deal.
