Summer Encore Series (from BJFF2014)
Featured Films:
Zero Motivation (Fiction, 97 min)
This smart, cynical, delightful comedy is the Israeli M*A*S*H.
A unit of young female Israeli soldiers, bored and annoyed by military service, and put off by the chauvinist male officers, invents its own private anarchist army life.
Run Boy Run (Fiction, 108 min)
Winner BJFF2014 Audience Award.
A true-to-life story of a 9-year-old boy who flees the Warsaw ghetto in 1942.
He survives among the animals in the woods, eludes SS patrols, and charms locals into taking him in, while keeping alive his Jewish faith through the terrible war against his people.
Above and Beyond (Documentary, 87 min)
An exceptional documentary celebrating the early history of Israel.
A rowdy, flamboyant group of mostly American Jewish World War II pilots became Israel's first air force and prevented the annihilation of Israel at the very moment of its birth.
*Producer Nancy Spielberg invited.*
Little White Lie (Documentary, 66 min)
Lacey Schwartz, filmmaker-as-truth-seeker, uses her camera to uncover a deeply buried family secret.
Daring to ask questions about her true identity, she pulls back the curtain on matters of race and domestic denial.
God's Slave (Fiction, 91 min)
Based on the horrific 1994 bombing of a Jewish community center in Buenos Aires, this film follows the parallel stories of an Islamic fundamentalist and potential suicide bomber, and the tough-minded Israeli Mossad agent sent to Argentina to prevent an attack.
An exciting political thriller.
Note: includes violent scenes.
