Now in its 16th year, the Jewish Film Festival, one of the oldest film festivals in Louisville, is back Feb. 8-23 with a slate of provocative films and programming that explore the expansive and ever-changing notion of Jewish Culture.
For laughs, the festival will show the documentary When Comedy Went to School, which addresses the question ‘Why are so many comedians Jewish?’ Comedic legends such as Mel Brooks, Jerry Stiller, Jerry Seinfeld and Woody Allen weigh in. Mark Klein, a nationally known comedian with local roots, will regale the audience with stories and jokes after the show. A reception of dessert, coffee and conversation follows. This special event is at 3 p.m., Sun., Feb. 9, at Adath Jeshurun Synagogue.
Tickets for most films cost $8.50 in advance, $10 at the door. Student tickets can be purchased for $6. To purchase tickets, visit www.jewishlouisville.org/filmfestival or call the JCC at 459-0660. A complete schedule, film descriptions and trailers are also online.
