Bernie Rubens has planned every detail of his Bar Mitzvah.
Bernie hopes that this will be the biggest day of his life, and
he will finally be the center of attention in his eccentric family.
However, the fates conspire against him. His Bar Mitzvah is
jeopardized as his family experiences one misadventure after
another, and England threatens to make it all the way to the
1966 World Cup Final . . . on Bernie’s Big Day. Would anyone
show up for Bernie’s party? Helena Bonham Carter (Sweeney
Todd, Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix) and Stephen
Rea (The Crying Game, V for Vendetta) join a
star-studded cast in this quirky comedy.

Making Trouble
Can we talk? Making Trouble is a documentary tribute
to Jewish American comedians Molly Picon, Fanny Brice,
Sophie Tucker, Joan Rivers, Wendy Wasserstein and Gilda
Radner. These legendary performers challenged notions of
what it means to be Jewish, funny and female. Produced
by the Jewish Women’s Archive, Making Trouble includes
performances, interviews, archival footage and the latest
generation of women comics — Judy Gold, Cory Kahaney,
Jackie Hoffman and Jessica Kirson — who lend their
commentary about the revered Jewish women comedians
while lunching at Katz’s deli in New York. A must see for
anyone who likes to laugh. Recipient of Special Mention
at 2007 Jerusalem Film Festival.

Chai and Welcome to the 18th Annual
San Diego Jewish Film Festival
S P O N S O R E D B Y T H E M I Z E L FA M I LY F O U N D AT I O N
2008 is our Chai year, and we have a line-up of films befitting this milestone.
With a wealth of good films to choose from, it was difficult to make cuts, but we can
safely say that we are showing the best of the best. Inquire about our underwriting
packages and festival passes to get the best deal and the most movie-viewing
pleasure. With ticket sales only able to cover 25 percent of our costs, your financial
support is the key to our continued success, and we extend a heartfelt thank you to
our 2008 underwriters.
We share our anniversary with Israel’s 60th anniversary, wonderfully represented at
the Festival. From ferociously dramatic Beaufort — Israel’s submission for Best Foreign
Language Picture at the Academy Awards — to Jellyfish — the winner at the Cannes
Film Festival for Best First Feature — to the juicy, highly addictive and highly popular
miniseries A Touch Away, we have a wonderfully varied representation of Israel’s
blossoming film industry.
In addition to Israeli films, we have films from England, Canada, France, Germany
and New Zealand, among others.
This year, we welcome Francine Ginsburg as our new Chair, and we are
pleased to announce the appointment of a Curator, Ilise Gersten Bush. As a former
documentary filmmaker and native San Diegan, she focuses on our film selection
process and loves to hear from Festival goers, regarding suggestions for films.
Our Festival is also growing with new Year-Round Programming. Look for special
events throughout the year. On April 5, we are proud to present our biggest event in
Festival history: The restored 1925 film His People, accompanied by a live jazz band
with original score, at the newly restored Balboa Theatre.
So, grab a bag of popcorn, sit back and enjoy. See you at the movies!

The biggest event in festival history
His People . . . coming April 5, 2008 at 7:30 pm
In collaboration with the San Diego Jewish Film Festival, this is a
rare opportunity to see His People, a classic 1925 silent film, fully
restored by the National Center for Jewish Film at Brandeis University,
at the fully restored Balboa Theatre at Horton Plaza in downtown
San Diego.
A melodrama in Yiddish Theatre tradition, His People is the
story of two sons of a poor Russian-Jewish pushcart peddler on
New York’s Lower East Side. Morris is a good student and the apple
of his father’s eye, while Sammy is the black sheep of the family.
But not all is as it seems.
Sammy secretly becomes a boxer to pay for Morris’s law school,
while Morris rejects his poor, uneducated family. Will the father realize
that Morris is a no-goodnik? Will he accept Sammy as a boxer with
an eye for an Irish girl? Will the family stay together or be torn apart?
Will Sammy be knocked out in the third round? Oy Gevalt!
His People is accompanied by musician and composer Paul Shapiro
and his live, six-piece jazz band with Mr. Shapiro’s original score
commissioned by the Museum of Jewish Heritage.
Be one of the first to enjoy the renovated Balboa Theatre, built in
1924, one year before His People was produced.

Arranged
Rochel and Nasira are both first year
teachers at a public school in Brooklyn,
New York. They share a passion for their
careers and a devotion to their faiths. Even
though Rochel is an Orthodox Jew, and
Nasira is an observant Muslim, the two
quickly form a close friendship and lean on
each other while they are both going through
the process of arranged marriages. Their
friendship is frowned on by some, but they
are undeterred. A feel good movie for all
faiths, Arranged was the recipient of the Best
Feature Film award by the Brooklyn
International Film Festival.

As Seen Through
These Eyes
Aviva My Love
Beaufort
During the Holocaust, many artists in
concentration camps gathered scraps of
paper, charcoal and sometimes paint to
record the horrors of their daily existence.
Some of these testaments to Nazi atrocities
were hidden away and later recovered after
the war. Director Hilary Helstein has brought
together artwork, archival footage and
interviews with survivor artists — including the
late Simon Wiesenthal — for a gripping
documentary narrated by renowned poet
Maya Angelou.
Winner of six Israeli Academy Awards,
Aviva My Love is the bittersweet tale of a
working-class woman trying to realize her
dream. Aviva takes in the small details of life
and writes charming stories, which she
hopes to publish someday. But life as the
matriarch of her family is about all she can
handle, and Aviva cares for others at the
expense of herself. When a famous author
takes an interest in her work, Aviva jumps at
the chance to be mentored, but is this the
path to make her dreams come true?

Israel is preparing to withdraw from Lebanon.
After 18 years, Israel has to abandon a
last outpost near the legendary Crusader
stronghold, Beaufort in the year 2000.
Anonymous bombs drop from the sky, as the
young outpost commander Liraz tries to hold
his men together during the last futile days.
The camera captures the claustrophobic
living conditions of the soldiers and the
pressure-cooker atmosphere, created by the
constant attacks by an unseen enemy.
Beaufort was the recipient of the Silver Berlin
Bear for Best Director at the 2007 Berlin
International Film Festival, and it is Israel’s
submission to the upcoming Academy
Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.

Niclas Gheiler meets Adolph Hitler when

Dear Mr. Waldman
It is the early 1960s in Israel, and
ten-year-old Hilik wants only to make his
Holocaust survivor parents happy. When
Hilik’s father, Moishe (Schindler’s List Rami
Heuberger), thinks that his son from his first
marriage miraculously survived and is now
advisor to President Kennedy, Hilik attempts
to make his father’s dream come true. The
family’s stability is threatened when Moishe
comes to terms with the fate of his family
during the Holocaust. Nominated for three
Israeli Academy Awards, Dear Mr. Waldman
is a compelling coming-of-age story that
teaches about the healing power of love.

Home is where the heart is, and for
Mae Timpano, it rested under the
Thunderbolt Roller Coaster on Coney Island.
Director Lila Place tells Mae’s story in this
short documentary that reawakens memories
of a lost era.
As World War II drew to a close, fences were
constructed around the rubble that was once
Warsaw and other major cities in Poland.
These empty, chain-link tableaux were
quickly covered in posters by artists who
desperately needed to speak out through
their art after years of suppression. The
tradition took hold and blossomed through
the Cold War. Freedom on the Fence
documents the history of poster art in Poland
with rich images of this little-known art form.
The film is followed by a discussion with the
filmmaker and panel, a luncheon and tours
of the Jewish/Polish Posters exhibit in the
Gotthelf Art Gallery.

The Galilee Eskimos
WEST COAST PREMIERE
The aged founders of a kibbutz in the hills of
Galilee in Israel have woken up to find that
they have been abandoned. Old and infirm,
they are left to fend for themselves after their
children sell the indebted kibbutz to the bank.
At first, the old-timers wallow in self-pity, but
they quickly remember their pioneer spirit and
take a stand to save the kibbutz, refusing to
act like old Eskimos who go off to die in the
snow. This poignant comedy is guaranteed
to make anyone feel young at heart.

guilt and grief over leaving her son behind in
her native Philippines. Directors Shira Geffen

A Love to Hide
Sara is forced into hiding after witnessing
the murder of her parents and sister by the
Nazis in occupied Paris. She finds shelter
with her childhood friend Jean and his lover
Philippe. However, Sara’s new-found security
is threatened by Jean’s meddling brother,
and soon Jean and his lover must also fear
from the Nazis as their affair comes to light.
A Love to Hide is a stirring love story set
against the backdrop of the Holocaust.

Marti —The Passionate Eye
Orthodox Stance
Marti Friedlander, New Zealand’s most
famous photographer, has not forgotten her
past. Friedlander recounts her life —
beginning with growing up in a Jewish
orphanage in England — and shares her
artwork in this striking documentary. After
getting her start in photography in Bohemian
London during the 1950s, Friedlander
followed her husband to New Zealand, which
was hardly the center for Jewish culture at
the time. Archival footage traces 40 years of
social change that Friedlander has captured
in black-and-white photos. Full of life and
enthusiasm, Friedlander has never missed a
moment to interact with her subjects, and
this comes through in her work and the film.
Michael and his mother struggle to evade
the Nazis and survive in Germany throughout
the war. The two go from one hiding place to
another, relying on the kindness of others to
keep their Jewish identities secret. Michael
and his mother encounter good samaritans,
who range from eccentric to ideological to
opportunistic. Throughout their journey,
Michael tries to hang onto his childhood, as
it quickly slips away. Not All Were Murderers
is based on the true life story of German
actor Michael Degen (Leo and Claire).
In this corner. . . undefeated, 24-year old
Brooklyn, New York welter-weight Dmitriy
Salita, a Ukrainian Jewish immigrant boxer
whose relentless body punches in the ring
echo his relentless observance to Jewish
law. Cameras follow him through his
grueling training, boxing matches and the
challenges he faces as an Orthodox Jewish
boxer. In the words of his trainer Jimmy
O’Pharrow: “Kid looks Russian, prays
Jewish and fights black.” A story in the
spirit of Rocky with more than a touch of
Yiddishkeit, this documentary is sure to
get audiences cheering.

She’s Got It
Life is not going well for Malka, Yafit and
Irena. Malka’s husband has been laid off
while she leads her factory’s workers against
the management. Yafit falls in love with a
security guard, who is plotting to rob the
bank where she works and makes her an
unwitting accomplice. Irena suffers an
abusive husband, who is also plotting to rob
the bank. The three women take control and
try to outwit the robbers, grab the money
and lead new lives in this screwball romp.

Six Days
Three Mothers
It is June 1967, and Egyptian President
Gamal Abdel Nasser’s dream of Pan-Arabism
provokes a war that reshapes the Mideast
and focuses the world on the previously
unknown West Bank. In Six Days, Israel
smashes the Arab armies, and it is the film’s
thesis that the victory’s repercussions are still
being felt today, both politically and socially.
Stunning archival footage, including an
intimate look at Egyptian President Nasser
before the war, along with first-hand
accounts, make this a comprehensive
documentary on the Six Day War with a
fresh perspective.
A Southern Jewish businessman takes
pen to paper and writes: “Youth is not a
time of life — it is a state of mind.” It is the
beginning of his poem, “Youth,” which makes
its way around the world and winds up on
the wall of General Douglas MacArthur’s
office in postwar Japan. “Youth” not only
inspires the General, but it is soon adopted
by the Japanese people. First-time filmmaker
Judith Schaefer traces the history of this
influential poem and its author in an
inspiring documentary.
Nominated for nine Israeli Academy Awards,
this epic tale traces the lives and loves of
Jewish triplets born in Egypt in 1942. Sisters
Rose (legendary actress Gila Almagor), Flora
and Yasmin move to Israel, where personal
dramas consume them. Throughout the film,
the three sisters take turns visiting Rose’s
daughter Rucha to videotape their memories.
Soon, secrets are revealed and old ghosts
are dug up in an effort to reconcile and
forgive. Lush cinematography and the
hypnotic vocal talents of Miri Mesika come
together to make this a feast for the senses.

When electronics engineer and fledgling

document her family tree, she hoped only to
gain a better understanding of her heritage.
But her journeys to Italy, Israel and the United
States opened up fascinating stories of her
Italian Jewish ancestors from 1392 to the
present, as well as new insights into her late
father. Animation and computer-enhanced
marionettes add to this fascinating look at
little-known Jewish history.

60 Minutes, Meroz and Vilnai burst into
Board meetings and confront those who are
responsible for the welfare of Israeli
Holocaust survivors. Searching back through
history and around the world, Paying for

under-reported issue.

Praying with Lior
Lior Liebling is preparing for his Bar Mitzvah,
helped by his tight-knit family and
community. Lior has Down Syndrome, and
he learned to daven (pray) before he could
talk. His mother, who died when he was
six years old, taught him to daven and
wished that he could someday become a
Bar Mitzvah. Now, he is considered by some
to be a “spiritual genius” and by others as a
“Hassidic master.” As Lior approaches the
milestone of his Bar Mitzvah, his family offers
differing viewpoints into how disability affects
a family. Praying with Lior is an intimate,
triumphant documentary by emerging
filmmaker Ilana Trachtman.
