Schedule Set for Falmouth Jewish Congregation's 2017 Summer Jewish Film Festival

Falmouth Jewish Congregation invites you to its 2017 SUMMER JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL, Tuesdays in July and August, starting July 11 and ending August 15. With the exception of the July 18 screening, films are shown at 2:00 P.M. and 7:30 P.M. in FJC's Blanche and Joel D. Seifer Community Center at 7 Hatchville Road in East Falmouth. Doors open 30 minutes prior to start time. Season REEL Passes are available in advance or at the door for all six films at the cost of $55 for FJC members and $85 for non-members. Individual tickets are sold at the door only and cost $10 for members, $15 for non-members. Popcorn and drinks are on the house. Each screening is followed by a guided discussion led by Pamela Rothstein, FJC Director of Lifelong Learning.

Get ready for another summer of engaging film viewing and discussion. FJC’s Jewish Film Festival brings the best of the Jewish and International film festival circuit right here to Falmouth, culling award-winners in both drama and documentary categories.

We are pleased to present the 2017 season. We have two outstanding documentaries, with the director of Disturbing the Peace presenting a Q & A following that film. Big Sonia - both the film and its subject - will move and inspire you. Our four feature films range from two comedies, the Dutch charmer Moos and The Women's Balcony, to two varied stories set during and after the Shoah. As always, we have an Israeli feature, the big hit The Women’s Balcony, our season opener. 1945 will remind you of the Polish film Ida in the beauty of its cinematography, the stellar acting, and the haunting story that probes how nations and communities responded to the Holocaust. Our closing film, Fanny’s Journey, reveals yet another haunting but hopeful Holocaust story that you likely don’t know, involving young children who escape to freedom.

The schedule is as follows:

July 11: The Women's Balcony

July 18: Disturbing the Peace

July 25: 1945

August 1: Moos

August 8: Big Sonia

August 15: Fanny's Journey
