The Savannah Jewish Film Festival kicks off at the Jewish Educational Alliance on Abercorn Street. Several days and nights’ worth of Jewish- and Israeli-oriented feature films and shorts will be shown digitally on a sizable screen in their lovely auditorium, and it’s a wonderful way for the public to not only avail themselves of this community center, but also a window into the current state of world affairs.

Virtually every single film included in this lengthy festival would not otherwise ever show publicly in Savannah, and many will not even receive a cursory theatrical release in America. Meaning, if you want a chance to see these films on the big screen, well, this festival is probably it.
