Dear Festival Friends,
Welcome to the Mandell JCC’s Hartford Jewish Film Festival,
our 14th annual celebration of Jewish life and people on the big screen. We are
proud to present a record 30 superb films – most of them Connecticut or Hartford
premieres - from 8 countries presented in 7 Greater Hartford venues over 10
days.
Get ready to chuckle, applaud, gasp, sniffle, howl and be dazzled!
We are honored to present the Festival with our long-time
partners, the Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art. Our new partnership with the
Maurice Greenberg Center for Judaic Studies and The Hartt School at the
University of Hartford, combines film and live music in new, exciting ways.
Children and parents alike will love Family Flicks, with an animated
Jewish folk tale and live children’s opera. On Closing Night, 70 musicians from
The Hartt School will perform an original student-composed score accompanying a
restored classic 1922 Jewish movie.
Three Reel Talk events will present directors, scholars
and film subjects following selected movies. Senior Screen will bring
delightful Jewish films to our community’s seniors at a new venue, Hebrew Health
Care.
Harriet J. Dobin,
Director
