Laila in Haifa (Hebrew title: לילה בחיפה, Layla BeHaifa[a]) is a 2020 Israeli-French comedy-drama film directed by Amos Gitai.[2] It was selected to be shown in the main competition section of the 77th Venice International Film Festival.[3][4]

The events of the film take place over one night in a club in Haifa, Israel. The club Fattoush is the place where people of different background meet, as the director of the film puts it: "men and women, straight and gay, Jews and Arabs, radical and moderate".[1]
