Dear Film Lover,
Everyone loves a good story well-told that also inspires us by helping find meaning in our own lives. With this in mind, we have put together the 5th annual Baton Rouge Jewish Film Festival, bringing to the public a series of films that inspire, inform, and entertain, and all reflecting, in some way, the long history and engaging culture of the Jewish experience.
This year, as before, the Festival highlights issues, traditions, challenges and characters that will resonate with a universal audience. In addition to comedy, drama, documentary, and short-format films, we’ve invited guests—this year, one of the filmmakers– to bring an added dimension to the program.
Thanks to audience feedback, we’ve received wonderful suggestions that helped us plan this year’s lineup of films. We believe you’ll find the 2011 Festival the best ever.
We’d like to express our appreciation to filmgoers who have made the Festival such a success in previous years. The Manship Theatre tells us that the Festival is one of the “hottest tickets” on their schedule. So, we look forward to seeing our old Film Festival friends again in January and welcoming new friends who won’t want to miss one the best film experiences in the region.
See you there!
Harvey Hoffman, for the
Baton Rouge Jewish Film Festival
