A coming-of-age drama set in Tel Aviv will screen this Sunday, July 11, at 7:30 p.m. the Martha’s Vineyard Hebrew Center as part of the Summer Institute’s film series. Eli and Ben was the opening film for the latest Boston Jewish Film Festival.

The Boston Phoenix said Eli and Ben had “ambiguity and edge. Young Eli (Yuval Shevach) and his days of minor school mischief collide with the real world when his architect father, Ben (Lior Ashkenazi), gets busted on what dad says is a framed-up charge of corruption.”

Genre-blending folkster Martin Sexton will play his only Vineyard concert this summer on Wednesday, August 4, at 7:30 p.m. at the waterfront East Chop Beach Club, to benefit, Friends of mvyradio.

Vineyard old boy Danny Kortchmar produced Mr. Sexton’s 1998 major label debut on Atlantic Records, The American. Mr. Sexton formed his own label shortly after, releasing many awardwinning records including the original live album, Solo, which won last year’s Independent Music Award for Best Live Performance Album.
