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.

Every day\, to reach the TV studios\, Salam has to go through a rather difficult Israeli checkpoint. There he meets the commander of the checkpoint\, Assi\, whose wife is a big fan of the show. In order to please him\, Assi puts pressure on Salam to change the end of the story\, and Salam quickly realizes that Assi’s ideas could be beneficial to him as a budding screenwriter. Salam’s creative career is suddenly on the rise\, until Assi and the soap opera producers and financiers disagree on how the season should end. Stuck between an army colonel and Arab support\, Salam can only solve his problems with a final master stroke. A sharp-eyed and timely comedy that crosses borders and breaks boundaries\, TEL AVIV ON FIRE won Best Film awards at Venice\, Seattle and Haifa\, and Best Actor (Horizons) at Venice.

Or buy a Series Pass to receive discounted admission to all 6 CFJFF programs and second priority seating after Mensch Passholders. \nSlovakia’s official entry for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film\, THE INTERPRETER is a bittersweet\, tragicomic road trip of remembrance\, trauma\, and guilt filmed against the astoundingly beautiful backdrop of the Carpathian Mountains. When elderly Ali (master Czech director Jirí Menzel\, Closely Watched Trains) shows up at a doorstep in Austria with a gun in hand\, he expects to assassinate the man responsible for his parents’ execution. Instead\, he finds the man’s womanizing son\, Georg (Peter Simonischek\, Toni Erdmann)\, a 70-year-old former teacher who offers to pay Ali to accompany him on a journey through Slovakia and serve as his translator. Seeking to come to terms with his father’s dark past\, Georg tasks Ali with translating the documents contained within his father’s journals and investigating the inscriptions written on the back of aged photographs. The odd couple sets out on a journey to the past through the countryside of Slovakia to unearth their intertwined stories.

Or buy a Series Pass to receive discounted admission to all 6 CFJFF programs and second priority seating after Mensch Passholders. \nComing into her own\, a young Jewish woman from Mexico City finds herself torn between her Syrian-Jewish family and a forbidden love in this delicate\, melancholic romance. Best Actress-winner at the Morelia International Film Festival\, co-writer/co-producer Naian Gonzalez Norvind gives an intimate\, honest portrayal of Ariela\, an independently-minded artist living with her family in a cloistered Jewish neighborhood.  Pressured to find an appropriate suitor\, serendipity leads to a passionate courtship with Ivan\, a non-Jewish writer who shows her a world of possibilities beyond her sheltered life.  As their feelings deepen\, Ariela must weigh their unsanctioned relationship against rejection by her family and community\, where religious values and traditions run deep. Bridging the divide between generations and cultures\, writer-director Isaac Cherem’s directorial debut deftly blends romantic comedy with an incisive feminist journey of discovery and self-determination.

DESCRIPTION:Buy a Mensch Pass to receive admission to all 6 Central Florida Jewish Film Festival (CFJFF) programs with first priority seating! Or buy a Series Pass to receive discounted admission to all 6 CFJFF programs and second priority seating after Mensch Passholders. \nAviva Kempner’s new film is the first feature-length documentary to tell the real story of Morris “Moe” Berg\, the enigmatic and brilliant Jewish baseball player turned spy. 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.

SUMMARY:The Last Suit
DESCRIPTION:Buy a Mensch Pass to receive admission to all 5 CFJFF programs with first priority seating! Or buy a Series Pass to receive discounted admission to all 5 CFJFF programs and second priority seating after Mensch Passholders. \nAt 88\, Jewish tailor Abraham Bursztein is seeing his place in the world rapidly disappear. 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.

DESCRIPTION:Buy a Mensch Pass to receive admission to all 5 CFJFF programs with first priority seating! Or buy a Series Pass to receive discounted admission to all 5 CFJFF programs and second priority seating after Mensch Passholders. \nSammy Davis\, Jr. had the kind of career that was indisputably legendary\, so vast and multi-faceted that it was dizzying in its scope and scale. And yet\, his life was complex\, complicated and contradictory. Davis strove to achieve the American Dream in a time of racial prejudice and shifting political territory. He was the veteran of increasingly outdated show business traditions trying to stay relevant. He frequently found himself bracketed by the bigotry of white America and the distaste of black America. And he was the most public black figure to embrace Judaism\, thereby linking his identity to another persecuted minority. \nFeaturing new interviews with such luminaries as Billy Crystal\, Norman Lear\, Jerry Lewis\, Whoopi Goldberg and Kim Novak\, with never-before-seen photographs from Davis’ vast personal collection and excerpts from his electric performances in television\, film and concert\, SAMMY DAVIS\, JR.: I’VE GOTTA BE ME explores the life and art of a uniquely gifted entertainer whose trajectory blazed across the major flashpoints of American society from the Depression through the 1980s.

DESCRIPTION:Buy a Mensch Pass to receive admission to all 5 CFJFF programs with first priority seating! Or buy a Series Pass to receive discounted admission to all 5 CFJFF programs and second priority seating after Mensch Passholders. \nIn this award-winning psychological thriller\, a young woman\, on a mission of vigilante justice\, goes to extremes to seek reprisal against a suspected ex-Nazi.  Driving on a deserted highway through the German countryside\, Lena (Carolyn Genzkow) arrives at a remote estate as nightfall descends. Feigning a car accident\, she begs for help from the deeply apprehensive Maria (Elisabeth Degen\, Aimee & Jaguar)\, who reluctantly agrees to invite her in. But Lena’s plea is a ruse to confront the aged patriarch Anselm Rossberg (Michael Degen\, Hannah Arendt)\, a former Auschwitz guard accused of war crimes. Lena’s efforts to extract a confession at gunpoint result in a twisted cat-and-mouse game\, as the three characters enter a standoff fraught with moral complexities and shocking revelations. Powerhouse performances and a taut script fuel this edge-of-the-seat chamber drama about wartime guilt and culpability across generations. \nPreceded by:\nI HAVE A MESSAGE FOR YOU \n \nIn this powerful and partially animated documentary\, a Holocaust survivor in Tel Aviv relates the incredible story of jumping off an Auschwitz-bound train from Belgium while leaving her gravely ill father behind.

SUMMARY:Shoelaces
DESCRIPTION:Buy a Mensch Pass to receive admission to all 5 CFJFF programs with first priority seating! Or buy a Series Pass to receive discounted admission to all 5 CFJFF programs and second priority seating after Mensch Passholders. \nNominated for 8 Israeli Academy Awards including Best Picture\, SHOELACES (aka “Laces”) tells the gently comic story of a complicated relationship between an aging father and his special-needs adult son\, whom he abandoned while he was still a young boy. Reuven’s (award-winner Doval’e Glickman) kidneys are failing and his son Gadi (Nevo Kimchi\, Footnote\, Restoration) wants to donate one of his own to help save his father’s life. However\, the transplant committee objects\, claiming that Reuven\, acting as Gadi’s sole legal guardian after the recent passing of his mom\, does not have the right to authorize such an invasive procedure. Afraid of losing his father as well\, Gadi feels he finally has the chance to do something meaningful and stand on his own\, and he sets out to fight for his right to save his father’s life. Co-starring the wonderful Yafit Asulin (The Women’s Balcony) and Evelin Hagoel (A Matter of Size\, The Women’s Balcony)\, SHOELACES’ portrayal of a relationship full of love\, rejection and co-dependency sheds some new and welcome light on people with disabilities.

Or buy a Series Pass to receive discounted admission to all 5 CFJFF programs and second priority seating after Mensch Passholders. \nHEADING HOME: THE TALE OF TEAM ISRAEL is the highly entertaining David-and-Goliath story of Israel’s national baseball team as it competes for the first time in the World Baseball Classic. After years of crushing defeats\, Israel finally ranks among the world’s best in 2017. Its roster includes many Jewish-American major leaguers\, most with a tenuous relationship to Judaism\, barely any ever having set foot in Israel. Their odyssey takes them from the Holy Land where they are hailed as modern-day Maccabees to the tournament in South Korea where they must debunk their reputations as has-beens and wannabes. The connection to Israel that the players forge pushes them to unexpected heights as they represent the country on the world stage and defy expectations. Winner of the Audience Award for Best Documentary at the Philadelphia and Washington Jewish Film Festivals. \nPreceded by:\nWIG SHOP \n \nAn orthodox Jewish woman (Emily Mortimer\, Lovely & Amazing) wanders into a wig shop on the other side of town.  She is quickly befriended by the shop owner (Adina Porter\, American Horror Story)\, only to discover that nothing is as it seems.
