Ten years after winning several prizes, including the Golden Camera award for \&quot;My Treasure\&quot;, feminist director Keren Yedaya is back in 2014 with an entry in the festival's Certain Regard section. This a closely watched category is for provocative films or follow-up works by emerging directors, and Yedaya's \&quot;That Lovely Girl\&quot; about a 60-year-old man's incestuous relationship with his 22-year-old daughter fits the bill. The final two Israeli films are being screened in the Directors' Fortnight category.</p><br clear="all"/>
