San Francisco Jewish Film Festival

Description

Enjoy well over 31 flavors of film as an array of cinematic gems comes to the Bay Area, with more than 55 vibrant and compelling glimpses of the Jewish experience from around the world. Savor Jews in Toons, a sidesplitting program on Jewish cartoon characters with special guest Mike Reiss (The Simpsons, Queer Duck); get the scoop via fascinating bio-pics on philosopher Simone Weil, writer Sholem Aleichem, and even controversial chess champion Bobby Fischer; relish Opening Night Film Mabul (The Flood), Centerpiece Film Little Rose, and Closing Night Film 100 Voices: A Journey Home; and get a taste of glamour as cinematic icon Kirk Douglas joins us to receive SFJFF’s Freedom of Expression Award for his instrumental role in ending the Hollywood blacklist with Spartacus (presented with a 50th anniversary screening at the Castro).
