from Connections 2023
by jewishnaples
The Naples Jewish Film Festival is returning to the Sugden Theatre to celebrate its 10th annual — diamond — anniversary on Sunday, Feb. 12, 2023. Powered by sponsors and business partners, the Festival features some of the best and brightest cinematic moments from newly released Israeli and Jewish cinema.
The Festival Committee introduces a varied and compelling array of films in this year’s lineup, affording moviegoers the opportunity to see Jewish films not readily available in theaters or streaming services. The high quality of the films selected, along with their Jewish themes, creates a sense of community, lifting the experience in a way no other medium does.
In addition to the four selected films, this year’s Festivalincludes the following highlights:
• Opening Night Celebration at the Sugden Theatre
• A conversation with filmmaker and director, Suzannah Warlick, at the screening of “Passage to Sweden”
• A bonus Short film, “OMI,” a comedy about a young man who is about to take the next step with his shiksa girlfriend but gets possessed by the ghost of his Yiddish grandmother
• And a virtual series, “The New Jew,” a four-part documentary, viewable for the duration of the Festival.
Films, dates and tickets are posted at www.NaplesJewish FilmFestival.org or call 239-434-1818.
