Italy's Rosanna Schiaffino. Fresh from locations in the resort town of Eilat is a western version of Schiller's classic play "DON CARLOS", starring Geraldine Chaplin, Anna Karina, and Bernard Wicki. Another "kosher cowboy" picture, "BITTER ROAD", an Israeli-German- Italian co-production, will be shot this year, starring Britain's Mark Lester, alias "Oliver”. "TRIAL IN LENINGRAD", a Rus¬ sian writer's script about the current plight of Russian Jews, will be filmed by Menahem Golan, using documentary footage shot inside a Leningrad court¬ room. A recent French-Israeli co-produc- tion called "SPY STORY" stars the "BLOOMFIELD" director Richard Harris explains story point to his co-star, German actress Romy Schneider. More and more international stars from a variety of countries are participating in productions and co-productions made in Israel. great Russian character actor Akim Tamiroff as a member of the Arab police. He tries to seduce information from a young Israeli played by Assaf Dayan, son of Israel's Defense Minister. "Asi”, a big star in Israel, also starred in John Huston's "A WALK WITH LOVE AND DEATH" and played the young Romain Gary opposite Melina Mercouri in "PROMISE AT DAWN". On location for "SPY STORY" at a modern hotel in Tiberias, young Dayan said "At first I didn't want to do this picture, until we humanized the script, so it could be about any two enemy countries. It's not another 'EXODUS'. We are not 'professional heroes.' We didn't invent Israel. It's here because it has to be." Israel's success on the film front is no Six-Day victory. It is the result of a long-range, practical, government- backed program. The country has stead¬ ily expanded and modernized its own color labs, sound stages, and other production facilities so it can now serv^ ice a minimum of four productions at once. Special laws have cut almost all red tape out of customs requirements and visiting film-makers can now rent their equipment in Israel rather than having to import the heavy gear as in previous years. Foreign producers are offered loans, tax rebates, participation in local subsidies, discounts in accommodations and transportation, a 30% rebate on dollars converted to Israeli pounds for film production, and nerve-soothing war- risk insurance. "Film, like everything else in Israel, is growing at a miraculous pace" says "Jewish Movie''-maker Mel Shavelson. "They can make movies at a hell of a low price. If I had a picture that called for an Israeli location, I'd go back in a minute." ■ (ABOVE LEFT) Comedian water-skis down the canal in the center of Tel Aviv's main street for "THE BIG DIG", while frustrated policemen noisily protest.
