Gay organization honors Israeli film

A film about a romance between Israeli and Palestinian men has been nominated for a prize by one of the most influential gay organizations in the US. 'The Bubble,' a drama based in Tel Aviv and directed by Israeli filmmaker Eytan Fox, has been named one of five contenders in the limited release film category at the 19th Annual Media Awards of the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. The nomination marks the third time a film by Fox has been recognized by GLAAD, which will hand out its 2008 awards March 22 in New York. The prizes honor films, television series and works of print and TV journalism that promote "a truly inclusive society," GLAAD President Neil G. Giuliano said in a press statement released Monday.  Gay organization honors Israeli film
