Ira and Abby
This witty romance takes an honest look at marriage, with plenty of laughter
in the mix. Writer/actress Jennifer Westfeldt (Kissing Jessica Stein), Chris
Messina (Six Feet Under), and comedic stars Jason Alexander, Robert Klein,
and Fred Willard highlight a charming cast in the story of a wishy-washy man
and a free-spirited woman swept too quickly into marriage. The relationship
soon devolves into a bittersweet maze of affairs, therapy, and meddling
parents. Ira’s and Abby’s mothers (Frances Conroy and Judith Light)
contribute to the dysfunctional delights. Audience Choice, Best Feature at
2006 Boston Jewish Film Festival.

What a
Wonderful Place
Three absorbing stories about the impact of immigration on Israel come
together in director Eyal Halfon’s striking film that calls to mind Robert
Altman’s Nashville and Paul Haggis’ Crash. An ex-cop helps a brutal
gangster smuggle Russian women to Israel for prostitution, but rediscovers
his conscience while assisting and falling for a Ukranian call girl. A
melancholic overweight farmer turns to one of his overworked Thai laborers
for understanding and compassion. A tough nature ranger harasses the
Thai workers while he depends on a Filipino immigrant to care for his
handicapped father. Cultures clash as these foreigners, shaping modern
Israel, come together in a dramatic and uplifting ending. Israel’s entry

Working on the San Diego Jewish Film Festival is always a fantastic journey.
It’s magical how eleven months after saying goodbye to the last Festival a brand
new one, entirely unique from all that preceded it, takes shape.
At every turn, we seek to bring diversity, laughter, enlightenment, and history
through the films that are chosen. We hope to engage the audience in conversation
and thought following every film. We work to provide a window for the Jewish and
non-Jewish community to learn something new, and to laugh and cry together.
THE AMC LA JOLLA 12 THEATRE FILM PRESENTATIONS,
IN MEMORY OF JOY F. KNAPP,
BELOVED AUNT OF ERIKA AND DANIEL SOLLENDER
AND GRIFFIN AND JONAH SCHULMAN
THE JOY F. KNAPP CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
has generously provided tickets for special populations
to attend the screening of Olga, presented on
Sunday, February 11, 7:30 PM at AMC La Jolla
This year’s line-up of films touches on many universal themes including:
sweet and sorrowful family relationships, (Brothers Shadow, Out of Faith), heroism
(Rape of Europa, Out of Sight), and survival that results in faith and growth
(Forgiving Dr. Mengele, Olga).
Of course, it’s not really magic, but rather the efforts and vision of many people
that help make the Festival happen. The San Diego Jewish Film Festival commands
almost two hundred volunteers, thirteen committees and a dedicated board and staff
that make it all happen every year. When the Festival opening night finally arrives, we
are rejuvenated by the excitement in the air, the reflection of how everyone’s hard
work has come to fruition, and an appreciation that once again the audience is filling
up the seats to watch some great films.

A rebellious Israeli teenage girl falls for the Arab son
of her parents’ maid, and finds that the relationship is
the perfect way to get under her parents’ skin. Sparks
fly in both families, making for a scathingly funny look
at prejudice on both sides of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Brooke Shields narrates this remarkable tale of
pianist and composer Devorah Schramm, an
American-born Orthodox Jew. Schramm moved to
Israel at the height of the Intifada, where she taught
piano to a 9-year-old, blind and severely autistic
Palestinian girl, Rasha Hamid. This testament to the
human spirit offers hope for the Middle East, the
ability of individuals to reach across cultural
barriers, and the healing power of music.

Code Name: Bayonet exposes the real story of the
Mossad’s Bayonet unit responsible for Israel’s
retaliation against the Palestinian Black September
terrorists following the 1972 massacre of eleven
Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. This
chilling documentary depicts the first act of Arab
international terrorism against Israel and the free
world. With clips from 9/11, and interviews with
Ehud Barak, President Bush, and other world
dignitaries, it is evident that worldwide, modern day
terrorism is on the rise.

Questions of identity and redemption propel this
compelling drama about an ex-con who finds himself
with the opportunity to begin a new life. Jake Groden
(Scott Cohen, Kissing Jessica Stein) returns to
Brooklyn after fourteen years to find that his identical
twin brother has just died, leaving his family with a
failing furniture business. Jake takes on his brother’s
identity in his quest to save the business and keep
the family afloat. But the masquerade takes its toll
on everyone involved, including his bereaved,
embittered father (Judd Hirsch). Filmmaker, Todd
Yellin, spent time observing woodworker and
MacArthur Genius Grant winner, Sam Maloof, in
preparation for this finely crafted creation.

Two Israeli soldiers take shelter in the home of a
Palestinian family after their vehicle strikes a
landmine on the way back from patrol. The soldiers
take the couple prisoner in their own home. But,
before long, one soldier learns that he shares his
Russian heritage with one of his captives. Their
bond, however, cannot overcome the hostility of the
situation, which spirals toward a gritty, all too
realistic ending.
Twelve-year-old Itamar has a deep love for ice
skating. However, he is slowly losing his hearing,
which forces him away from his singular passion.
Itamar refuses to accept his doctor’s orders and his

The Forgotten Refugees
As a parent, it is hard to reconcile your politics
with your choices for your children’s education.
Filmmaker Yoram Honig and his wife live by their
ideals and send their children to a bilingual
Arabic/Hebrew school for Jewish and Palestinian
students. We follow precocious daughter Michal
from her first day at school through the entire year
of holiday celebrations. The film’s climax on Israel
Memorial and Independence Days (the Palestinian’s
Days of Disaster) brings all the characters into
sharply differing views and situations.
Marilou Berry (Look at Me) delivers a sparkling
performance as Hannah, a 16-year-old misfit
growing up in the suburbs of postwar France. Her
homeliness and weight do not help matters as she
struggles to blend in with her wacky parents, and
two pretty sisters who are only interested in one
thing — boys. Yet striving to remain true to herself,
and with wit and musical talent on her side, she
combats pranks and anti-Semitism as she fights
for a spot in the famous all-male jazz band at her
school. In the end, Hannah succeeds in this
charming, humorous, and poignant film.
Viewer Discretion: Brief nudity.
In 1945 there were one million Jews living in the
Middle East and North Africa outside the Palestine
Mandate, many in communities dating back more
than three millennia. Today, only several thousand
remain. The Forgotten Refugees explores the history
and destruction of these communities and recounts
the compelling personal stories these people have
carried for so long. Extensive testimony of survivors
from Egypt, Yemen, Libya, and Iraq testify to the
enormously rich cultures fleeing Jews left behind. The
film weaves individuals’ stories with dramatic archival
footage of rescue missions, exodus, and resettlement.
Director: Lorraine Levy, France, 2005, 90 min., BetaSP,
French w/ subtitles
Forgiving Dr. Mengele tells the story of a shocking act
of forgiveness by Auschwitz survivor Eva Mozes Kor
and the firestorm of criticism it has provoked. Eva
and her twin sister, Miriam, were victims of Nazi
doctor Josef Mengele’s cruel genetic experiment, an
experience that would haunt them their entire lives.
We follow Eva’s metamorphosis from embittered
survivor to tireless advocate for reconciliation. This
unexpected transformation was sparked when Eva
met with another former Auschwitz doctor. Eva’s
ideas about justice, revenge, and the possibility of
healing through forgiveness, as well as the
passionate opposition from other survivors, become a
window to a larger discussion of the ways people
define forgiveness.

The Children’s House
Summer 2005. The Tel Aviv museum is holding an
exhibition called “Communal Sleeping” in which
kibbutz-born artists portray, through their works,
their childhood experiences of communal sleeping
and living apart from their parents on their kibbutz.
The film includes archival material from
documentaries produced in the 1950’s by the
kibbutz movement. These idealized scenes stand in
stark contrast to the pain and memories depicted by
the artists.

Katzhen
KZ
Brilliant and cultured German-Jewish journalist
Emanuel Goldfarb (Ben Becker, Gloomy Sunday)
receives a terribly polite letter asking him to speak
about “his daily life as a Jewish citizen” to a group of
German schoolchildren. Insulted and angered by the
invitation, Goldfarb sits down in his apartment to
write a short, but equally polite refusal. After much
soul-searching, he delivers a fascinating, provocative
tour-de-force soliloquy — a monumental settling of
accounts — that starkly confronts Germany’s dark
past and his own German-Jewish identity. Oliver
Hirshbiegel’s stunning film asks us: Can life ever
again be ordinary for a Jew in Germany?
Life on a kibbutz is the only remaining option for
Katzhen, a young boy whose mother has died,
whose father is in a mental institution, and whose
remaining relatives have failed at caring for him. His
sad and touching tale includes ridicule by other
children and a loneliness tempered only, for a short
time, by a caring Arab shepherd. The bitter-sweet
ending finds the boy and his father reunited in a
shared moment of grief, recognition, and love.
MUSIC ON THE SCREEN
Committed British documentarian, Rex Bloomstein,
continues his career-long engagement with
anti-Semitism. KZ is a low key, but disturbing
portrait of visitors and guides at the Nazi
concentration camp Mauthausen and villagers in
the adjacent Austrian town. Bloomstein queries
old timers about the secrets of the past and
newcomers about choosing to live there now. He
monitors tourists’ reactions to the death camp,
while KZ tour guides unflinchingly recount the
horrors in minute detail. Bloomstein delivers a
powerful message: Unless we face the atrocities
of the past, we may be doomed to repeat them.

Conductor Daniel Barenboim believes a peaceful
future is possible for the Middle East. This belief was
his motivation to create the West-Eastern Divan
Orchestra with the late literary scholar Edward Said.
The mix of English, German, Hebrew, and Arabic

underscore the diversity of the young musicians in
the orchestra. The film follows them through
workshops and a European tour, accompanied by
admiration and controversy.

Olga
Out of Faith
Out of Sight
Director Leonid Prudovsky takes a walk on the lighter
side with this comedy of cross-cultural romance. An
Argentine-born telenovela actor has trouble finding
work when he immigrates to Israel. He falls for his
Hebrew teacher, whose parents adore him thanks to a
series of hilarious misunderstandings. His young
daughter brings an unexpectedly sharp wit to an
already eclectic group of characters. The laughs twist,
turn, and don’t let up.
Based on a true story, Olga tells the dramatic tale of
Olga Benario, a brilliant, committed political activist
and a valiant woman. German-born and half-Jewish,
Olga becomes a communist at 15, eventually
coordinating activities in the USSR, France, and
Britain before escaping to Rio de Janiero as the wife
of Brazilian Communist leader Luis Carlos Prestes.
When Dictator Getulio Vargas has the couple arrested,
Prestes goes to jail, but Olga is deported to Germany
by the Gestapo. In the most undignified setting in a
concentration camp, Olga remains a heroine by
teaching secret classes, publishing an underground
newspaper, organizing food for sick prisoners, and
encouraging her fellow prisoners to strive not only for
survival, but also for their dignity. This epic love story
is a tale that touches our hearts and inspires our
admiration. Winner of Cinema Brazil Grand Prize in
Art Direction, Costume Design, and Makeup.
Viewer Discretion: Adult content.
The hostilities of one family ripped apart by
interfaith marriage come under the microscope. To
Leah and Eliezer, the eldest generation of the Welber
family, their grandchildren’s choice in spouses
represents a betrayal of their relatives killed in the
Holocaust. Just as their first great-grandchild is
about to be born, an unexpected event occurs that
will either reconcile three generations, or render
them asunder for good.
A young, blind woman, who is studying in the
United States, returns home to Israel for the funeral
of her childhood friend. In her grief, she boldly
conducts her own personal investigation into the
shocking death, which is determined to be by
suicide. This riveting psychological story questions
whether people ever truly see — either physically or
metaphorically — all that is going on around them.
The intense drama won Syrkin the Israeli Academy
Award. Viewer Discretion: Adult content.

The Rape of Europa
A Star Hidden in the Backlands
Various Positions
Wide Awake
The Rape of Europa is a documentary based on the
National Book Critics Circle Award-winning book by
Lynn H. Nicholas. The film tells the epic tale of the
systematic theft, deliberate destruction, and
miraculous survival of Europe’s art treasures during
the Third Reich and World War II. The film
interweaves the history of Nazi art looting with the
stories of contemporary restitution cases. It also tells
the dramatic story of the unprecedented heroic
efforts of the US Monuments Men who were sent to
Europe to safeguard and return displaced art at the
end of the war.
What’s the relation between Luciano Oliveira, a
young physician from Paraíba; João Medeiros, a
retired engineer from Natal; and Odmar Braga; a
black policeman from Pernambuco? They were all
born into Christian families in the northeastern
backlands of Brazil. All carry on traditions that can
only be explained by the fact that their ancestors
were Marranos, Jews who converted to Catholicism
more than 200 years ago and fled to rural Brazil to
escape the Portuguese inquisition. This scholarly and
fascinating film reveals what happens when these
individuals begin to question their origins and seek to
formally rejoin the religion of their forefathers.
In this briskly-paced romantic drama, college
student Josh is on track for law school and a place at
his father’s firm. As his Orthodox Jewish family
prepares for their traditional Passover celebrations,
Josh hits a brick wall in the form of the alluring,
troubled — and not quite Jewish — Cheryth. As things
heat up at the dorm and at home, Josh is suddenly
questioning his faith, his father, and his future.
Passion and new love collide with family values and
the demands of tradition as Josh, Cheryth, and Josh’s
family find themselves questioning their lives.
Viewer Discretion: Adult content.
A confirmed night owl, Alan Berliner has an
obsessive mind that won’t shut down for sleep and
which leaves him feeling “jet lagged in his own time
zone.” Digging deeply into the notion that true
creativity can come only from chaos and exhaustion,
the sleep-deprived documentarian interviews family
and friends and gives us an intimate glimpse into
the unsettling ripple effect one man’s insomnia has
on everyone around him. Can Berliner be cured of
his insomnia? Does he really want to be? This
delightful collage is a real eye-opener.

Tired of being mistaken for anyone who shares his
name, the filmmaker invites all the Alan Berliners in
the world to his home for dinner. What starts as a
search for identity transforms into a meditation on
mortality. Ultimately, he shares the power and magic
embedded in a name, and examines how our
identities are shaped by what we call ourselves.

The World Was Ours
This beautiful documentary tells of the legacy of a
legendary Eastern Europe culture that was
destroyed by the Nazis during World War II. Founded
in the early 14th century, Vilna, Lithuania was a
multi-ethnic, multi-cultural society in which a
remarkable Jewish community took root and grew,
often under adverse conditions. It helped shape
many of the great ideologies of 20th century Jewish
life, had a deep religious and artistic heritage, and a
highly developed sense of social responsibility. Film
narrated by Mandy Patinkin.
Yiddish Theater: A Love Story
Guest Artist: Mira Jedwabnik Van Doren invited
Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winner, Tony Kushner
(Angels in America) is a consummate artist and
indomitable political activist whose work challenges
us to “wrestle with angels.” A Jewish homosexual,
raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana, Kushner has
become a compassionate voice for outsiders in a
climate of repression and censorship. Interweaving
interviews and personal moments from Kushner’s
life with scenes from his plays, Wrestling with
Angels covers the three years between 9/11 and
the 2004 presidential election as a three-act play.
Freida Lee Mock (Maya Lin) has created a film as
charismatic as Kushner himself. Award winner at the
Munich and Cleveland International Film Festivals.

This short-subject film is a tale of persecution and
ironic justice. In 1924, while imprisoned in
Landsberg Castle, Adolf Hitler wrote Mein Kampf,
his terrifying blueprint of things to come. A decade
later, during the Nazi’s reign of terror, a nine-yearold German boy chances upon the highly prized
original manuscript of Hitler’s book and begins a
lifelong quest. Stars Andrew Sachs, who, as a boy,
escaped the Nazis.
Nobody’s Business
This multiple-award winner delves into both the
humorous and the poignant sides of aging. For
filmmaker Alan Berliner, it’s an uphill battle to
coerce his father, Oscar, into sharing his life story.
Their complex father-son dynamic is at times funny,
painful, and ultimately enlightening, proving that
even the deepest family wounds can be healed.
