Within the Warsaw Ghetto, a group of journalists, intellectuals, and community leaders covertly buried records that were subsequently found after the war. The video takes its audience into the Warsaw Ghetto and transports them there. Amos Nachoum, a resident of Pacific Grove and a world-renowned underwater wildlife photographer, is the subject of Dani Menkin’s next documentary, A Picture of His Life. Menkin, who previously directed Dolphin Boy and On the Map, is back with his latest film. Following the screening of the film on Saturday evening, March 9, Menkin and Nachoum will both take part in a question and answer session. -On Sunday, March 10, there will be a screening of the Dutch film An Act of Defiance, which is a nail-biting political thriller that explores the dark period in South Africa’s recent history, when ten political activists, including Nelson Mandela, face the possibility of being sentenced to death after being arrested by the apartheid government. The screening will be held in partnership with The Village Project, Inc. -The Final Departure (March 17) The film Shalom Bollywood, which is about the involvement of Jewish women in the early stages of the Bollywood business, was preceded by a celebration that included Indian cuisine and dance. We are the only Jewish film festival in Monterey County, and we serve all of the citizens in an attempt to foster understanding, respect, and collaboration via the medium of cinema through educational programming. We transmit topics and ideas that have universal appeal to a large audience drawn from the Monterey Peninsula and beyond, while at the same time being shaped by a Jewish perspective that is inherently distinct from any other tradition. Additional engagement of the intellect and emotions is provided by the accompanying programs of our festival, which include social contact and conversation. We have high hopes that our festival will contribute to the bridging of cultural and religious divides, as well as to the promotion of harmonious coexistence and peace.
