     MESSAGE TO FESTIVAL FANS

Dear Festival Friends,

Clear the week, call your movie mates and prepare to be amazed and astonished at the quality, scope and talent in the international Jewish filmmaking world. When the 16th Annual Mandell JCC Hartford Jewish Film Festival tap dances into five theaters, you'll be treated to a globe-spanning love story, war heroes and saviors, taboo-breaking documentaries, tango, klezmer and dance superstars, and a child's eye view of the world on film.

Our not-to-be-missed Opening and Closing Night parties, a new author and film event, Jewish-Muslim Teen Screen program, Senior Luncheon Matinee, and Connecticut's first ReelAbilities celebrating the art and expression of all people with disabilities highlight our 16h edition. Family Flicks with Shalom Sesame brings mitzvot and Matisyahu, the reggae rocker, to the screen.

We're proud to offer 4 New England premieres, 13 Connecticut premieres and 4 Hartford movie premieres, The ten day lineup includes 22 award-winning features, documentaries, shorts and romances from Argentina, China, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Poland, Rwanda, United Kingdom and the United States.

Ronny Siegel,
Chair
