Overview
3rd Annual Baton Rouge Jewish Film Festival
Dear Film Lover,
I think we can agree that we all love a good story, one that inspires us by helping find meaning in our own lives. And, with over 3700 years of history behind us, the Jewish people have lots of inspiring stories to tell and listen to. So, with that in mind, we have designed the 3rd Annual Baton Rouge Film Festival to inspire, inform, and above all, entertain our audiences. We want to share and explore the diversity of the Jewish experience through film.
This year, as in years past, we will highlight Jewish issues, traditions, challenges and characters that will resonate with our audiences whatever their background or beliefs. In addition, we will present filmmakers and speakers who will bring an added dimension to the dramas, documentaries, shorts, and animated films in our programs. [MORE...]
