From JEWISH FEDERATION OF GREATER TOLEDO
From an epic road trip toward justice to a hilarious scheme to steal a secret family recipe, the 5th Annual Toledo Jewish Film Festival’s lineup of films has something for every viewer to enjoy. Jewish Federation of Greater Toledo is proud to present its 5th Annual Toledo Jewish Film Festival May 22-July 10 at Lourdes University Franciscan Theatre.
This year’s lineup includes Remember, featuring Academy Award-winners Christopher Plummer and Martin Landau; The Midnight Orchestra, winner of the Ecumenical Jury Prize at the Montréal World Film Festival; and Indignation from James Schamus, the acclaimed screenwriter of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Highlights of the festival include meeting The Pickle Recipe writer/producer Sheldon Cohn and enjoying pickle tasting prior to the movie screening, as well as hummus and blintz tasting prior to the screenings of the closing night double feature Hummus the Movie and The Last Blintz.
“Our objective is to share with you some excellent Jewish-themed films that are often featured in major cities but unfortunately are rarely shown in Toledo,” said Ralph and Ruth Delman, 5th Annual Toledo Jewish Film Festival sponsors. “It is our pleasure to give back to the community that has given so much to us and our family.”
