The character of Russian-Jewish immigrant constitutes undoubtedly one of the major figures in Israeli cinema. The aim of the studies is to focus on two contemporary Israeli films, i.e. Saint Clara (Clara Hakedosha, 1996) by Ari Folman and Ori Sivan and Circus Palestine (Kirkas Palestina, 1998) by Eyal Halfon from the point of view of intercultural relationships. The selected texts of culture seem to show both Russian and Jewish culture as dynamic and ambiguous phenomena, which are characterised by a number of paradoxes, polar stereotypes and prejudices. At the same time, however, the cultures turn out to be similar to each other in their continuous inner conflict between striving for freedom and the need of self-restraint.
