(West Palm Beach, FL – March 6, 2018) The popular 28th annual The Donald M. Ephraim Palm Beach Jewish Film Festival may have concluded a few weeks ago, but the cinematic love continues at a new satellite mini-festival next month in Jupiter.

The new Jupiter Satellite Film Festival will present eight extraordinary movies, April 16-19, at the Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas at 201 US-1 in Jupiter.

"We have selected some amazing films that will appeal to movie buffs of all ages and backgrounds," promises Festival Director Ellen Wedner. "They are extraordinarily diverse and very engaging.

LET YOURSELF GO

In this screwball comedy from Italy, Elia is a Jewish psychoanalyst with an austere and detached manner. Elia lives alone in a flat on the same floor as his ex-wife Giovanna, with whom he is still secretly in love. After a minor illness, his doctor instructs him to lose some weight. He befriends a vivacious Spanish personal trainer, Claudia, a single mother with an unhinged criminal ex-boyfriend. As Claudia drags Elia around Rome, a series of mishaps ensue, breathing new energy into his tired and predictable life.

Awards: Italian Golden Globe Best Comedy; Best Supporting Actress Italian Film Critics Award.

(Directed by Francesco Amato; Italian with subtitles. 2017, 98-minutes)
