9:00 pm Kendall Square Cinema Strangers He’s Israeli, she’s Palestinian. They meet in Berlin during the frenzy of the World Cup finals where relief at running into somebody from “home” quickly turns to desire. Can love trump politics? Sexy, brave, and provocative, Strangers is a true high wire act. Working without a script, directors Erez Tadmor and Guy Nattiv shot on location on the fly and actors Lubna Azabel and Liron Levo improvised. Wondrously, the story emerged. Winner of Wolgin Award at the 2007 Jerusalem Film Festival and a Grand Jury Prize nominee at this year’s Sundance Film Festival.
