Israeli comedies add zest to Warsaw Jewish Motifs Fest

user
In the past two years the subject matter of this festival concentrated heavily on themes of the Holocaust and Polish-Jewish relations.

The story centers on a freewheeling Argentine immigrant to Israel, a thoroughly unkosher Lat...

Emanuel Goldfarb, a German journalist of Jewish heritage, but not a...

2ND WARSAW JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL (MAY 19 -- 25, 2005)A ROUSING SUCCESSBy Alex Deleon-PevnyThe second convening of the new International Jewish Film Festival in Warsaw proved to be an even bigger success than the first edition a year ago. The official Polish designation, directly translated, comes out as "The Warsaw International Film Festival on Jewish Motifs" which seems to leave room for a broad interpretation of just what it is that counts as a "Jewish film". Indeed, as we shall see, some of ...
