Star-crossed love in a Jaffa garage. A vibrant Jewish community discovered in the remote Amazon jungle. A man who saved 1,700 people, prosecuted as a traitor. Japanese schoolchildren unravel the mystery of a little girl’s suitcase from Auschwitz. Lemon trees become a bitter divide in the search for peace. These captivating tales are included among 17 unique and award-winning comedies, dramas and documentaries awaiting movie-goers at the 9th annual Las Vegas Jewish Film Festival.
The 18 day festival will take place Jan. 14 through Jan. 31, 2010. Most films will be screened in the stadium-style theater at The Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Educational Campus in Summerlin and presented by Las Vegas-based Jewish agencies, organizations and synagogues. Additional screenings will be held at Cinemark Century Theaters at the South Point Hotel Casino and UNLV Greenspun Hall.
The Jewish Family Services Agency (JFSA) is positioned to be the sole recipient of all donations received to support the Jewish film festival.
