Recently screened as part of Tribeca 2023, Noam Kaplan’s latest film, The Future, follows three women whose lives intersect at moments which present different challenges for each of them. Nurit (Reymonde Amsallem) is an Israeli criminal profiler and the designer of a new piece of software which is supposed to be able to identify terrorists by analysing their movements and behaviour. Yaffa (Samar Qupty) is a young Palestinian woman whose assassination of the Minister for Space and Tourism she failed to predict. Then there’s Maor (Dar Zuzovsky), whom Nurit is getting to know with a view to using her services as a surrogate so that she can experience motherhood. Over the course of a few weeks we observe their conversations and the way that they – especially Nurit – change as a result, whilst in the background, an Israeli space venture is attempting to put a man.

The M Jewelers
Mark Shami grew up making jewelry at his father’s store in New York City’s diamond district, a location for the film Uncut Gems. After years of crafting custom items for friends, Shami founded The M Jewelers 10 years ago in New York and opened his by-appointment L.A. store last year. He calls his brand “a go-to spot for customization and personalization,” noting the “heirloom feel” of the designs (49 to 1,900). Known for its nameplate pieces, the brand — which counts Rosalía and Bella Hadid as customers — also offers engagement bands and rings. “Last year,” says Shami, “we did a bunch of pieces for Euphoria,” which included the Cutout Flower Heart Letter ring with customizable initial. “They kept all the pieces, and we gifted a...
