SUMMARY:Farewell\, Mr. Haffmann
DESCRIPTION:This film will take place at the Orlando Science Center Digital Adventure Theater. \nThe legendary Daniel Auteuil (Jean de Florette) gives one of his most superlative screen performances in this gripping new historical drama from writer/director Fred Cavayé\, based on Jean-Philippe Daguerre’s celebrated\, multi–Molière Award-winning play. Occupied Paris\, 1941: all members of the Jewish community are instructed to come forward and identify themselves to authorities. Dedicated jeweler Joseph Haffmann (Auteuil)\, fearing the worst\, arranges for his family to flee the city and offers his employee François Mercier (Gilles Lellouche) the chance to take over his store until the conflict subsides. But his own attempts to escape are thwarted\, and Haffmann is forced to seek his assistant’s protection. It’s a risky proposition for both men\, and one that Mercier’s wife Blanche (a wonderful Sara Giraudeau) is skeptical of. As the couple move in to the Haffmann home\, the agreement turns into a Faustian bargain\, one that will forever change the fate of all. One of the biggest box office hits of the year in France\, the superbly directed Farewell\, Mr. Haffmann is a transfixing humanist portrait of survival and resistance\, as well as the tragic consequences of complicity and collaboration.  \n  \nMensch Pass $136 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, First Priority Seating\, Doors open 30 minutes early \nSeries Pass $78 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, Discounted Admission\, Second Priority Seating \nIndividual Tickets $14 \nPasses and individual tickets can be purchased online or in person at Enzian’s box office.

SUMMARY:Hummus Full Trailer
DESCRIPTION:In this wacky gangster comedy caper\, a mix-up of three very different shipping containers at an Israeli harbor brings together a bunch of eccentric Middle East characters. The hijinks begin in the port city of Haifa\, where illegal goods are mistakenly delivered to the wrong members of the Israeli underground. The bungle sets off a wild road race across Israel with Russian smugglers\, ultra-Orthodox gun dealers\, and Arab traffickers. Added to the mishugas are a pair of gay florists in way over their heads. To sort things out\, a mob boss tasks his soon-to-be-married computer geek son—who wants no part of the family business—to fix the mess. With a stellar troupe of top Israeli stars\, this colorful and hilarious rollercoaster ride is packed with over-the-top\, Tarantino-esque action and outlandish archetypes. \n  \nMensch Pass $136 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, First Priority Seating\, Doors open 30 minutes early \nSeries Pass $78 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, Discounted Admission\, Second Priority Seating \nIndividual Tickets $14 \nPasses and individual tickets can be purchased online or in person at Enzian’s box office.

When Assaf dies unexpectedly\, she is the last to hear about it.

SUMMARY:Queen of the Deuce
DESCRIPTION:For two decades Chelly Wilson reigned over 42nd Street in Manhattan\, then referred to as the “Deuce\,” as the pugnacious matriarch of a skin flick empire. A larger-than-life character with chutzpah to spare\, Wilson owned several adult theaters and was known for her magnetism and shrewd business sense\, thriving in the exclusively male underworld while prepared by her unusual history. Born Rachel Serrero into a devout Sephardic Jewish family\, she was an avowed tomboy who smoked cigarettes\, wore pants\, and studied medicine until pressured by her father into a loveless marriage that produced two children. Always ahead of the curve\, Wilson saw the writing on the wall for Jews and boarded the last ship out of Athens alone in 1939. With five dollars she turned a modest hot dog stand into a legitimate theater business before pivoting to adult films and changing New York’s seedy underbelly in the process. Weaving together archival footage\, home movies\, animated sequences and interviews with her daughters\, grandchildren\, friends\, and associates\, Queen of the Deuce is the rollicking and remarkable tale of a Jewish grandmother who built a pornographic legacy “one pubic hair at a time.”  \n  \nMensch Pass $136 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, First Priority Seating\, Doors open 30 minutes early \nSeries Pass $78 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, Discounted Admission\, Second Priority Seating \nIndividual Tickets $14 \nPasses and individual tickets can be purchased online or in person at Enzian’s box office.

SUMMARY:June Zero
DESCRIPTION:Shot in lush super 16mm in Israel and Ukraine\, Jake Paltrow’s stunning and thought-provoking historical drama captures a profound event in the history of the young state — a moment that dramatically changed\, both inside and outside of Israel\, the way in which the Holocaust is now understood and remembered. Inspired by true events\, June Zero is set in 1962 Israel\, where\, after an emotional public trial\, Adolf Eichmann — one of the key architects of the Holocaust — has been tried and sentenced to death for crimes against humanity and crimes against the Jewish people. The vividly textured story is told from the point-of-view of 3 characters: David\, a 13-year-old Libyan immigrant\, who works in the factory where Eichmann’s corpse was incinerated; Hayim\, a Jewish-Moroccan guard assigned to Eichmann’s jail cell to protect him from vigilante justice; and Micha\, a Polish survivor of Auschwitz who became the chief interrogator at the trial. Though seemingly disparate characters\, these three are inexorably connected through the parts they played in this seminal moment of Jewish history. \n  \nMensch Pass $136 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, First Priority Seating\, Doors open 30 minutes early \nSeries Pass $78 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, Discounted Admission\, Second Priority Seating \nIndividual Tickets $14 \nPasses and individual tickets can be purchased online or in person at Enzian’s box office.

SUMMARY:Matchmaking
DESCRIPTION:This film will take place at the Orlando Science Center Digital Adventure Theater. \nEndlessly witty\, visually rapturous\, and sweetly romantic\, Matchmaking is a Romeo and Juliet-like saga (sans the tragedy!) of two young\, eligible ultra-Orthodox singles looking for a match. Moti (Amit Rahav from the Netflix international hit Unorthodox) spots Nechama (Liana Ayoun in a breakthrough performance)\, his sister’s friend\, and is instantly smitten\, but isn’t allowed to date the charming\, beautiful young woman because she doesn’t come from an Ashkenazi (European origin) family like his own\, but rather comes from a Mizrahi (Middle Eastern origin) family. Over the course of time\, Moti is sent on a whirlwind of dates with beautiful girls in the Orthodox community\, but against everything he knows\, he finds he must pursue his one true love\, Nechama. A joyous new tale about tolerance and love from the director of A Matter of Size (CFJFF 2009)\, Matchmaking is Israel’s biggest box office hit of the year and is full of hijinks\, jokes\, and slapstick humor\, along with plenty of one-liners about spicy salads and noodle kugels\, with a heavy dose of Yiddish sprinkled into the Hebrew script. \n  \nMensch Pass $136 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, First Priority Seating\, Doors open 30 minutes early \nSeries Pass $78 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, Discounted Admission\, Second Priority Seating \nIndividual Tickets $14 \nPasses and individual tickets can be purchased online or in person at Enzian’s box office.

SUMMARY:Persian Lessons
DESCRIPTION:Please Note: this film is showing at the Orlando Science Center Digital Adventure Theater\, which does not have concessions.  \nAn official selection at numerous international festivals and Belarus’ submission for the 2021 Best International Film Oscar®\, Vadim Perelman’s Persian Lessons proceeds from a spellbinding premise: In 1942\, Gilles (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart\, César winner for BPM)\, a Belgian Jew\, is sent to a German concentration camp. He escapes execution by claiming to be Persian\, but is ordered to teach the language (which he does not speak) to an SS officer (veteran actor Lars Eidinger)\, who plans to open a restaurant in Iran after the war. Gilles must somehow fabricate a language\, complete with rules and extensive vocabulary\, knowing that exposure of the ruse will cost him his life. To wit\, Ukrainian director Perelman\, best known for the 3-time Oscar-nominated Ben Kingsley drama House of Sand and Fog\, collaborated with a Russian linguist to devise a 600-word lexicon of ersatz Persian for this remarkably suspenseful\, superbly acted film. \nMensch Pass $118 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, First Priority Seating\, Doors open 30 minutes early \nSeries Pass $72 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, Discounted Admission\, Second Priority Seating \nIndividual Tickets $13 \nPasses and individual tickets can be purchased online or in person at Enzian’s box office.

SUMMARY:Nelson's Last Stand
DESCRIPTION:Nominated for Best Israeli Film at the 2021 DocAviv Film Festival\, this is the crazy story of the 1970’s bohemian holiday village established by Rafi Nelson on the Sinai border that found him caught in a border conflict between Israel and Egypt. In November ’77\, after years of war\, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat landed in Israel with a message of peace and a promise to take back the occupied Sinai soil. Nelson\, who feared losing his holiday village\, went to war to preserve his party paradise. He harnessed his comrades at the top of the government to protect the small country he had built. The affair\, which lasted nearly a decade\, is a web of political intrigue that forced Israel into an entanglement that endangered peace with Egypt. NELSON’S LAST STAND is an absurd look at the conflict in the Middle East through a square kilometer of passion. \nMensch Pass $118 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, First Priority Seating\, Doors open 30 minutes early \nSeries Pass $72 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, Discounted Admission\, Second Priority Seating \nIndividual Tickets $13 \nPasses and individual tickets can be purchased online or in person at Enzian’s box office.

SUMMARY:Rose
DESCRIPTION:Actress and now debuting director\, writer and composer Aurélie Saada pours a tremendous amount of personal nostalgia into ROSE\, a wonderfully emotional comedy-drama steeped in love for her North African Jewish roots\, from music (all written by Saada) to food — the credits even include her recipe for “makroudh\,” a date-filled cookie. The film stars legendary French actress Françoise Fabian (Luis Bunuel’s Belle de Jour and Eric Rohmer’s My Night at Maud’s) as a 78-year-old Parisian who has just lost her most beloved husband—a recent widow whose sorrow gives way to a deep thirst for life. This helps her realize that there is still time for her to redefine herself as a woman\, all while emerging from under her children’s straight-jacketing concerns. ROSE is an all-embracing effusion of Jewishness that’s a sure-fire crowd-pleaser. \nMensch Pass $118 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, First Priority Seating\, Doors open 30 minutes early \nSeries Pass $72 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, Discounted Admission\, Second Priority Seating \nIndividual Tickets $13 \nPasses and individual tickets can be purchased online or in person at Enzian’s box office.

SUMMARY:Greener Pastures
DESCRIPTION:Please Note: this film is showing at the Orlando Science Center Digital Adventure Theater\, which does not have concessions.  \nNominated for 12 Israeli Oscars including Best Film\, Actor\, and Director!  \nA retired widower is forced to reexamine his past and embrace his future in this charming comedy that was nominated for 12 Israeli Ophir Awards\, including for Best Director\, Best Screenplay\, and Best Actor. Boasting a dream cast of talent\, including icons of Israeli comedy like Shlomo Bar-Aba (Footnote) and Doval’e Glickman (Shtisel\, Shoelaces)\, this is a wryly comic story about life\, moving on and finding redemption.

When he discovers that almost all the residents in the facility partake of medical marijuana to help with their aches and pains\, he realizes that weed can be his salvation—selling it\, not smoking it. Irresistible\, funny\, and full of hilarious moments\, GREENER PASTURES is the perfect opener for this year’s festival! \nMensch Pass $118 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, First Priority Seating\, Doors open 30 minutes early \nSeries Pass $72 (limited quantity): All 6 programs\, Discounted Admission\, Second Priority Seating \nIndividual Tickets $13 \nPasses and individual tickets can be purchased online or in person at Enzian’s box office.

Berg caught and fielded in the major leagues during baseball’s Golden Age in the 1920s and 1930s. But very few people know that Berg also worked for the Office of Strategic Services (OSS)\, spying in Europe and playing a prominent role in America’s efforts to undermine the German atomic bomb program during WWII. THE SPY BEHIND HOME PLATE reveals the life of this unknown Jewish hero through rare historical footage and photographs as well as revealing interviews with an All-Star roster of celebrities and other individuals from the worlds of sports\, spycraft\, and history. Berg may have had only a .243 batting average during his 15-year major league career\, but it was the stats he collected for the OSS that made him a most valuable player to his country during World War II.

His kids have sold his Buenos Aires residence\, set him up to move to a retirement home\, and disagree on how to handle his fading health. But Abraham survived the Holocaust\, made a successful life in a foreign land\, and isn’t about to quietly fade away. Instead\, he plots a secret one-way trip to Poland\, where he plans to find the Christian friend who saved him from certain death at the end of World War II\, and to keep his promise to return one day. Comedic and poignant in equal measure\, from Argentina to Spain\, across Germany and finally to Poland\, Abraham is on his own but also accompanied by the characters he meets along the way. With its klezmer-driven score\, evocative cinematography and fleet pacing\, THE LAST SUIT approaches its weighty themes with a light touch that illuminates a serious story.  It’s a globe-trotting surprise\, a late-in-life road movie with planes\, trains and heart that has won Best Film Audience Awards at the Atlanta\, Philadelphia\, Washington\, San Francisco and Los Angeles Jewish Film Festivals.
