The 30th SFJFF will bring together over 50 films from countries all over the world; it’s a kaleidoscope showing the richness of Jewish identity at this complex moment in time. This summer, a special archival retrospective, Tough Guys: Images of Jewish Gangsters in Film, a program that will examine cinematic images of Jewish gangsters and ‘ethnic’ gangsters played by Jewish actors, as seen through the lens of class, ethnicity, immigration, masculinity and assimilation.
This is our community’s opportunity to come together as a group….to laugh, to cry but mostly to connect and to share our heritage.
A full program of the films and brochure will be available the third week in June. See the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival website for more details: http://www.sfjff.org/.
