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?
Can you tell me more about the film? the only short film I found with this title can be viewed here ( https://vimeo.com/52255683 ), but I am not sure whether this is what you are looking for.
Hello there,
I’m interested in submitting two films to your festival. Can you please write back some information regarding the process? I couldn’t find any.
Thank you very much and all the best,
Asaf

Dear JFF,
WHERE DO I BUY THE DVD OF NANCY SPIELBERG’S 2014 – ABOVE AND BEYOND which will work on UK DVD Player ??
Please advise me.
Many thanks, Martin
You can buy it on iTunes, but that’s not in DVD format:

Hello,
I was trying to watch “The Voice of Peace” but there is no sound. Please advise on how I could see the movie with sound?
Many Thanks,
Kate
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.
Hello there!

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
Thank you for letting me know about your festival. I added it to the site:

Hi:
This is Jimmy O’Donnell, I was the director of photography on this film. I’m having a lot of trouble tracking down the movie poster to “Marvin Hamlisch: What he did for love”. I’m wondering if you can guide me on where to find one.
Thank you,
Jimmy
I don’t know where you can get a print version of the movie poster. The largest digital version I found is here (scroll down a bit): http://marvinhamlisch.us/news/congratulations-to-directorproducer-dori-berinstein-for-marvin-hamlisch-what-he-did-for-love-emmy-win/

Jay Sorkin
AFAIK the film is not available on the US (yet?) for purchase. According to this page the film’s worldwide distributor is Elsani. I recommend asking them.

Is anyone familiar with the film, “Soleil” starring Sophia Loren? I am hoping to purchase a DVD. Thank you.
I haven’t heard of this 1997 movie before, but now I read about it on IMDB ( https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120158/) and watched the trailer at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGujX5LgyUA . Thank you for pointing this film out to me. Unfortunately as fa as I know it is not available on DVD.
Please add our lineup of films:
Boca Raton Jewish Film Festival
http://www.bocajff.org
You have 1 film listed, we have 44 films.
Thanks.
The 2019 Boca Raton Film festival was already added to our site, so I am not sure what you are requesting. Please clarify. Your festival on our site is at:
https://jewishfilmfestivals.org/festivals/2019/boca-raton-jewish-film-festival-2019/
Two things: put the LATEST comments at the top of the list, so we don’t have to scroll down forever to reach them. Second, can I adjust my notifications so that I hear about films at film festivals near me, rather than those that are 3,000 miles from where I live? Thanks!
Please update our Sacramento Jewish Film Festival website to jewishsac.org/sjff.
Thanks.
Our 2020 dates are February 19-20-22-23.
I updated your festival’s website and added the 2020 event too: https://jewishfilmfestivals.org/festivals/2020/sacramento-jewish-film-festival-2020/
Please note that the Harrisburg Jewish Film Festival is now the Edward S. Finkelstein Harrisburg Jewish Film Festival. I would be most grateful if you would update our listing to reflect this. Thank you!
Thank you for letting me know. I updated the webpage accordingly, see:
https://jewishfilmfestivals.org/festivals/2019/harrisburg-jewish-film-festival-2019/
I am very interested in screening Stamm at our upcoming festival, but cannot locate any contact info for the director or the film anywhere. There is only an IMDB link. Any ideas on how to track him down?
I recommend contacting the film’s director, Jacob Grodnik. E.g. if you are on Facebook, Twitter or Linkedin, you can reach him there: https://twitter.com/grodnik https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacob-grodnik-4621572a/ https://www.facebook.com/jgrodnik
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 believe you attended this short film viewing of the Chicago Jewish Film Festival: https://israelifilmchi.org/portfolio-item/israeli-men-in-shorts/ . I recommend contacting them directly with your observation at: https://israelifilmchi.org/get-involved/
If I see correctly the last short was “Skin” by Guy Nattiv, see https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7332306/ It is indeed not about Israel, however it was done by an Israeli director. I suspect this film was included in the selection because Guy Nattiv is one of the most accomplished Israeli directors, even this film of his was not done there. It won though the 2019 Academy Award® for Best Live Action Short.
I was wondering if you could create a separate genre for shorts. That would be fantastic.
I have a page that lists all the shorts from my site right here:
https://jewishfilmfestivals.org/genres/short/
It’s a bit slow to load as there is over a thousand of them.
BTW: Here is the list of all genres I ahve:
https://jewishfilmfestivals.org/genres/
Thank you for creating and maintaining this website. It is such an amazing resource!!!
Glad you are enjoying it.
Hello.
I’m trying to get my hands on a couple of films listed here for a Jewish Film Festival in Boise, Idaho. Can you help figure out how to obtain Abe, Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel, Simon & Theodore, and Humor Me please? I don’t understand the process for finding them.

A a new citizen of Israel, I just produced a music video response to the pandemic crisis. The response has been so powerful — 2,100 + in the first three days since I uploaded it to YouTube — that I’m sharing it with communities around the world.

Here’s wishing us all the best in the days ahead.
Happy to share, thanks for making it.
There are two movies I would love to see on this website. Europa Europa and For Sasha, can you let me know if it is possible to obtain these films.

If you need or want any more information, please let me know. Thank you.

I was trying to list the nine films that are part of our new Social Justice Film Festival. The Sacramento Jewish Film Festival is working with the NAACP, Sacramento Faces Race, the Jewish Community Relations Council, and the Central Valley Holocaust Educators Network.
I paid the fee, but wasn’t brought back to any space to list our nine films.
