Best of the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival

Most films featured in the San Francisco Jewish Film
Festival never make it to Marin. We’re proud to present this inaugural
mini-series at the Osher Marin JCC, screening films that were especially well
received during last year’s festival—with special guests for each program!



 



FEB 11: ARAB LABOR is a groundbreaking,
controversial, and hilarious hit Israeli television series that satirizes the
religious, cultural and political differences prevalent in Jerusalem society. Watch three episodes from
the currently airing Season 4, and hear more about this Israeli cultural
phenomenon from special guest Donny Inbar, Associate Director for Arts &
Culture at the JCF
Israel Center.

FEB 25: 50 CHILDREN: THE RESCUE MISSION OF MR. AND MRS. KRAUS
is a documentary about a couple from Philadelphia
who, in 1939, embarked on a bold plan to rescue 50 children from
Nazi-controlled Vienna.
Screened with THE REAL INGLORIOUS BASTARDS, the true story behind
Quentin Tarantino’s film. It follows two Jewish-American operatives and a
German prisoner of war who are sent on a dangerous undercover mission in Austria during
World War II. Special appearance by 50 Children director Steven Pressman.

MAR 11: AMERICAN JERUSALEM:
JEWS & THE MAKING OF SAN FRANCISCO
is the epic story of the
pioneering Jews who escaped persecution in Europe and played a central role in
transforming San Francisco
from sleepy village to thriving metropolis. In the process they reinvented
themselves as well—becoming a distinctly new kind of Jew. Followed by a panel
discussion with producer Jackie Krentzman and three experts featured in the
film: historian Marc Dollinger, radio personality John Rothmann, and Frances
Dinkelspiel, journalist and author of Towers of Gold: How One Jewish Immigrant
Named Isaias Hellman Created California.

by the Osher Marin JCC, and sponsored by Ingrid D. Tauber and the Laszlo N.
