Annual Israeli and Jewish Film Festival

Join us for the 15th Annual Israeli and Jewish Film Festival!!

Schedule of Events:

2:00 pm: Israel Swings for Gold

In 2021, Israel's baseball team competed in the Olympics for the first time. With no media allowed in Tokyo's Olympic Village, the players record their own experiences.

Mostly newly minted Israelis, they log unexpected battles against anti – Semitism and anti – Zionism. Victory for Israel comes on the playing field, even if not on the podium.

Israel Swings for Gold follows the 2018 hit Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel, about Israel's Cinderella run at the 2017 World Baseball Classic.

7:00 pm: 999 - The Forgotten Girls

In March 1942, nearly 1,000 young Slovak Jewish women, mostly teenagers, told by their government that they were embarking on a volunteer work assignment, were instead illegally deported to Auschwitz on what was the first Jewish transport to the Nazi death camp.

Rather than strictly focus on the suffering and death experienced by most of the girls, Macadam tells stories of a small group who survived against all odds, even under unimaginable conditions that lasted more than three grueling years.

A film of deep research and vivid detail, 999: The Forgotten Girls ensures that these women will no longer be a historical footnote. Note: some images may be disturbing.
