“The JFF Planning Committee is excited to present this year’s slate of films that are sure to entertain, inform and challenge the audience. Attendees will experience a greater understanding of how people from different times and backgrounds deal with today’s challenges. We look forward to post-film discussions and patron feedback,” said Marty Rosensweig, JFF Planning Committee member and RBFS board member.
An expanded selection of nine films comprising two documentaries and seven narrative features has been confirmed, along with the inaugural addition of a series of five shorts. “The program slate unites Jewish values with 21st century contributions to music, fashion, culture and faith,” said Helen Chamberlin, RBFS executive director.
The society will host an after-party gathering in the CAT lobby at the conclusion of the 7 p.m., March 18 screening of “Haute Couture.” The evening will be hosted by Fran Saltzman, Seaside Jewish Community and festival planning committee member.
Closing out the festival after the 5 p.m., March 19 screening of “Dedication” will be a panel discussion with featured artist, director and producer Roger Peltzman.
This will truly be a celebration of Jewish culture in Sussex County as the society continues its efforts to reunite community around the art of film.
To respect the Jewish Sabbath, Seaside Jewish Community is not hosting the films on Friday evening and Saturday afternoon.
