Welcome to the ‘reel’ Jewish world!
JCC’s Palm Beach Jewish Film Festival turns 21
PALM BEACH GARDENS — The JCC of the Greater Palm Beaches is delighted to announce the dates, line up, and schedule of its 21st Annual Palm Beach Jewish Film Festival. This year, the Film Festival (the oldest in Palm Beach County) runs from Dec. 1-12, and expands from two to four theaters: Movies of Delray and Regal Royal Palm join the Regal Delray 18, and the Cobb Downtown at the Gardens. The Festival is also screening more films twice, making it more convenient for attendees to see films that appeal to them.
As always the Festival will screen around three dozen international and independent award-winning films, including dramatic features, comedies, romances, documentaries and shorts from the U.S., Israel, Canada, France, Germany, and Argentina, among other countries
This year, the line up includes four U.S. premieres: Gei-Oni (Valley of Fortitude), In the Footsteps of Abraham, No Way to Say Goodbye, and Sixty In the City; several Southeast Premieres, (meaning they’ve never been shown south of Washington, D.C.): Adam’s Wall, Blood Relations, Jaffa, Little Rose, The Loners, Oh! What a Mess, The Round-Up, Saviors in the Night, Ultimatum, and World Class Kids. Disney and Miramax Film Studios have given us the honor of presenting the Florida premiere of The Debt, starring the wonderful Helen Mirren. We’re also excited about the South Florida premiere of Jews and Baseball: An American Love Story, an eye-opening documentary sure to captivate the baseball novice, as well as the avid fan.
The Festival remains as diverse and intriguing as ever, presenting historical period pieces such as Gei-Oni, political thrillers like Little Rose, comedies like Oh! What a Mess!, The Infidel, and He’s My Girl!, sweeping features like Bride Flight, and Berlin ’36, and provocative documentaries like Budrus, Bridge over the Wadi, and World Class Kids. For fans of the innovative New York-based band, the Klezmatics, we have a new documentary about them: The Klezmatics: On Holy Ground. We’re also bringing back the second season of the all-time hit Israeli TV sitcom, Arab Labor.
Descriptions, and screening times, dates and locations for all films are below. Photos illustrating all films are available upon request.
The goals of the PBJFF always have been to entertain, educate, and promote cultural understanding through film. The Festival also aims to stir debate, and encourage dialog and discussion about film. “These films,” says PBJFF Artistic Director Karen Davis, “celebrate Jewish heritage, culture, philosophy, and religion from numerous Jewish points of view while also introducing the Jewish world to non-Jews.”
Ticket are $18 for Opening Night, $10 for evening screenings (after 5 p.m.), and $8 for matinees. For more information about festival films, schedules, and purchasing tickets or festival passes, visit www.pbjff.org, or call 561-712-5204.
Descriptions and schedules of films:
Anita—Florida Premiere (Audience Favorite Award, LA Latino FF)
Marcos Carnevale, director Argentina, 2009
Spanish w/ English subtitles 104 min.
Anita, a young Jewish woman with Down syndrome, lives quietly and happily with her mother in Buenos Aires. On July 18, 1994, a terrorist bombing propels her outside her safe cocoon and into a life-changing journey. As she wanders through the chaotic city in search of her mother, her open heart and innocent personality touch the lives of others, and the result is an optimistic drama about human innocence, compassion, and resilience in a troubled world.
Guest: Hap Erstein, PBJFF Film Reviewer-In-Residence at both locations.

Regal Delray 18, Thursday, Dec. 2, 7:20 pm
The Matchmaker (Southern Premiere) Avi Nesher, director Israel, 2010 Hebrew w/ English subtitles 112 min. In the shadow the Holocaust casts on Israel in the 1960s, a boy, a matchmaker, and a quirky cast of characters light up this coming-of-age story. When a teenage boy meets a Holocaust survivor who works as a matchmaker, he goes to work for him as a “detective” because the matchmaker knows the boy’s father. He descends into the lower part of the port city where he observes and meets many raffish characters. He also becomes interested in writing and learns his first lessons in love. Although there’s lots of humor here, the film also provides a fresh look on the distaste and disinterest many Israelis felt at the time towards the survivors in their midst. From the director of box-office hits Turn Left At the End of the World and The Secrets, this is a story of transformation like no other you’ve ever seen.

A compelling documentary about Francisca Halamajowa, a Polish Catholic, who hid 16 Jewish neighbors for two years while pretending to be a Nazi sympathizer. Two families were hidden in the loft above her pigsty, and one family in a hole dug under her kitchen floor. Using interviews with Halamajowa’s descendants, and the survivors’ families, this fascinating story is made more so because it’s based on a diary from one survivor whose granddaughter, Judy Maltz, is one of the filmmakers.

Dutch w/ English subtitles 130 min
Based on the true story of the 1953 “Last Great Air Race” from England to New Zealand that carried young Dutch adults fleeing the lingering trauma of WW II, and devastating North Sea floods. Dubbed the “bride flight” because many of the women were joining their already-settled fiancés, this sweeping melodrama brilliantly switches between the ‘50s, ‘60s, and present, and follows the friendships between three women — shy Ada, sensible Marjorie, and sophisticated Esther.

Arabic, Hebrew w/ English subtitles 82 minutes
When Ayed Morrar learned the Israeli security fence would cut through his West Bank village, he organized a peaceful protest. His teenage daughter convinced the village women to join in, and that galvanized rival parties Hamas and Fatah–and Israelis–to come together and join the effort to save the village. This groundbreaking documentary neither romanticizes nor demonizes the many viewpoints it reveals. Instead, with gripping intensity, it captures the power of ordinary people peacefully working for extraordinary change.

As it turns out, speaking loudly, speaking clearly, responding quickly under pressure and team work skills are all extremely helpful assets for their students. To have all of these qualities gives young students a greater confidence and an extra boost in all of their other activities.
