    The web site is irrelevant to my question but I’m always happy to have others know about it.
    I am looking to rent the short film A GOOD UPLIFT. I saw it years ago and would like to show it for a meeting/event at my synagogue (Agudat Achim in Schenectady, NY.) I also saw it listed on a website that I can no longer find. Can you help me?

      You are right. the video didn’t have sound, thank you for pointing it out. FYI: The video is on YouTube where I found this note for this video: “This video previously contained a copyrighted audio track. Due to a claim by a copyright holder, the audio track has been muted.”

      Unfortunately, I didn’t find any other trailer online, so I don’t have an advice how/where to watch the film.

      Currently I am not sending out any emails or newsletters, so you didn’t miss anything. (Although I am thinking of how to make the site more known and might do emails in the future. )

    Hi — I am the Festival Director of The White Mountain Jewish Film Festival located in Bethlehem, NH in the heart of the White Mountains. Our films are shown every other Thursday in July and August of each year. This year we are adding a fifth film, SON OF SAUL, for Friday August 5th, introduced by the Zen Master and co-founder BEARING WITNESS Program at AUSCHWITZ. Our Festival is as much a community builder and film festival. We bring together the scattered rural Jewish communities within a 50 mile radius, and enjoy a hour of free refreshments before the shows to socialize, and listen to a special guest speaker. Your lovely website finally came up on my search engine (maybe I needed to switch to Chrome?) Would you include us in your listing? I look forward to hearing from you. Dorothy Goldstone

    To whom it may concerned,

    I have seen “The man in shorts” 11.17.2919 in ArcLite in Glen.
    The movie supposed to start @ 5:15 pm, but they organized a huge crowd in lobby and were late on 20 min.
    The last movie was not about Israel and has ruined all pleasure that we got from Festival.
    Very bad.

    I paid the fee, but wasn’t brought back to any space to list our nine films.
