 DIRECTOR'S MESSAGE

Dear Film Fans,

For ten days in March 2009, thousands of Greater Hartford film lovers were swept away on waves of freedom, discovered Secrets in Safed and journeyed to Greece, France, Israel, Brazil and Beijing through the magic of international Jewish cinema. Although tinged with sadness because Lynne Gordon could not see the fruits of her final efforts, the 2009 Mandell JCC Hartford Jewish Film Festival will be remembered as the most well-attended festival – with the best films - in its thirteen year history. The support of our donors, partners, sponsors and fans helps us offer a cross-generational forum for Jewish stories and ideas extending to our borders and beyond.

Planning for next year is already underway. Our advance Connecticut Benefit Premiere of “Adam Resurrected” on Monday, April 20, 2009 was enthusiastically received. Our 2010 Festival Call For Entries has been issued and the Steering Committee’s weekly film screenings have begun.
