The Kind Words “Humor creeps in from strange sources, including a seller of funeral packages and a march through a paris graveyard. and while not every motivation is clear, subtext isn’t everything in a movie as complex and satisfying as this one.” — The New York Times

Wedding dollIn his first narrative feature, documentarian nitzan Gilady demonstrates an assured grasp of visual storytelling, using a stunningly rugged desert setting that’s as much a character as the film’s perpetually sunny, intellectually challenged 24-year-old and her world-weary mother. — Hollywood Reporter

rabin, The lasT day “There is a movie I’m looking forward to seeing when it comes to Washington. It seems quite relevant to America today. It’s about what can happen in a democratic society when politicians go too far, when they not only stand mute when hateful words that cross civilized redlines suddenly become part of the public discourse, but, worse, start to wink at and dabble in this hate speech for their advantage. The movie is called Rabin, The Last Day.” — Thomas L.

Friedman, The New York Times

“In Search of Israeli Cuisine is a valuable film to explore the past, present and future of israel — all through food.” — Atlanta Jewish Times

WeLcoMe FroM tHe cHairs

WeLcoMe 12tH annuaL coLuMBus JeWisH FiLM FestiVaL!To promote the preservation of Jewish culture and celebrate cultural diversity, we invite you to join us on a two-week cinematic journey of twelve outstanding movies ... a kaleidoscope of light-hearted comedies, critically acclaimed dramas and engaging documentaries that showcases world cinema exploring the global Jewish experience. Cinematic stories — of joy and celebration, love and loss, tolerance and activism, ethics and history – demonstrate the magnificent medium of film as a vehicle for perpetuating Jewish values, identity, culture and community. We hope that these films, and the stories they tell, resonate beyond their settings and speak to universal experiences and issues that confront our common humanity.

This year, we expanded access and audiences with a new venue that will offer a unique movie-going experience. We are proud to announce that Opening Night will be at the McCoy Center in New Albany, Ohio. The films you will see represent the works of a group of outstanding producers and directors from many countries including the United States, Israel, France, Germany and Netherlands. This year’s selections represent the formidable will for independence (Wedding Doll), a startling discovery of a family secret (The Origin of Violence), a portrait of political upheaval (Rabin, the Last Day), the fight for justice (The Law), the making of history in an improbable win (On the Map), the confrontation of national and sexual identity (Oriented), the complex bonds of family relationships (The Kind Words), an heroic rescue and release of Sabena Flight 971 (Sabena Hijacking: My Version) and a gastronomical expedition of the Israeli food scene (In Search of Israeli Cuisine.) This is just a small sampling of the films on tap.

our thanks and appreciation go to our sponsors whose unwavering support has helped us become one of the most well-respected Jewish film fests on the circuit. The generosity of our community partners, financial supporters; our venue and in-kind donors allow us to present a festival worthy of you, our loyal audience. We are very fortunate to have the wisdom and imagination of Emily Schuss as our CJFF Director to create and implement the Festival. We are grateful to our Fundraising Chair Jody Altschule for her enthusiasm and diligence and to our dedicated steering committee members, volunteers and the JCC staff who flawlessly help us stage this fine event.

Please check out the Festival lineup in this program. We thank all of you for your support of this premiere Film Festival, and can’t wait to see you at the movies!

thursday, november 10 7 p.m. the drexel theatre

A fast-moving, emotional and awe-inspiring documentary, On The Map recounts the story of the 1977 maccabi-Tel Aviv team, and their unlikely toppling of the four-time defending Soviet team to win their first European Cup. After winning, israeli team captain Tal Brody, exclaimed, “We are on the map, we are staying on the map, not only sports, but in everything.” Still demoralized after the Yom Kippur War, suffering from a sagging economy and only a few years after the 1972 massacre in munich, Israel needed a morale boost. The film brings together most of the members of that team including Brody and African American Aulcie Perry, who converted to Judaism while on the team. NBA great Bill Walton, and former NBA Commissioner David Stern deliver incisive commentary on the team. Director Dani Menkin delivers a film that honors Israeli heroes, mesmerizes fans of the game and captures the spirit of a nation triumphant and victorious again all odds.

raBin, tHe Last dayDirected by Amos Gitai, Drama-documentary, 2015, 156 minutes, Israel/France, Hebrew with english subtitles

sunday, november 13 7 p.m. the drexel theatre

in his most ambitious and compelling work yet, notable israeli filmmaker, Amos Gitai probes the precursors and aftermath of Yitzhak rabin’s assassination. Intercutting reenactments with newsreel footage, Rabin, The Last Day presents a sober but spellbinding study of the events surrounding the prime minister’s murder. The film is framed around the official commission inquiry, meticulously restaged based on transcripts and various government records. Further sequences go beyond the limited scope of the state investigation to explore the collective cultural psyche that made such a violent tragedy possible. What emerges is a controversial thesis, suggesting that the assassination was the zenith of a hate-filled campaign by extremist rabbis, militant settlers, and other right-wing elements to derail rabin’s peacemaking efforts, and not solely due to inadequate security or the actions of one fanatic.
