PORTLAND, Maine — The Maine Jewish Film Festival has announced some of the highlighted films that will be showing this year.
This year’s festival, now in its 15th year, will be held from March 17-22 with a lineup of American and foreign films.
Among the highlighted films are “Between Two Worlds,” a 2011 documentary exploring community and family divisions that are redefining American Jewish identity and politics, and “David,” a 2011 feature about a young Muslim boy who inadvertently befriends a group of Jewish boys.
Other highlights include the 2011 Israeli comedy “This Is Sodom,” and “Little Rose,” a Polish thriller based on the 1968 student uprising against the communist Polish government.
Festival tickets go on sale Feb. 17. More information is available at www.mjff.org.
Some of the best communities in the country have a substantial Jewish residential population. I like to see more Jewish people call Skowhegan their home. And i am not Jewish.
I’d like to see the US stop foreign aid to Israel. Oh, and Egypt too. In fact, I’d like to see the US stop foreign aid to any country that has received it for 5 years or more.
