SUMMARY:Twin Cities Jewish Film Festival: Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire
DESCRIPTION:Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire\n\n\nWith his unforgettable and shattering 1958 memoir Night\, Elie Wiesel forever changed the way the Holocaust would be written about. A survivor of Auschwitz and Buchenwald as a teenager\, the Romanian-born Wiesel became an international spokesperson and renowned author\, eloquently transforming his trauma into literature of the highest and most profound order. In this enthralling new documentary\, filmmaker Oren Rudavsky goes deeper into Wiesel’s philosophically abundant inner life\, depicted with nuance and tenderness\, and enriched by access to his personal archives. In many ways a private man despite being one of the most public voices of Holocaust remembrance\, Wiesel is presented here in newly intimate ways known only to his closest friends. Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire stands as a crucial testament to an extraordinary man who helped shape our collective memory of the darkest chapter of the 20th century.\n\n\n\nPOST-SCREENING Q&A FEATURING \nKristin Thompson \nFounding Director of the Humanus Network \n  \n Co-sponsored with the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas.

SUMMARY:Twin Cities Jewish Film Festival: Among Neighbors

SUMMARY:Twin Cities Jewish Film Festival: Documentary Shorts: Quick Cuts\, Deep Roots
DESCRIPTION:Documentary Shorts: Quick Cuts\, Deep Roots followed by a POST-SCREENING Q&A with Michael Potter Executive Producer\, Tracks and Matt Nadel Director\, The Stage is Ours\n\n\nDays Between Rest\n\nGrammy-nominated Ugandan Jewish singer Rachel Namadosi reflects on growing up Jewish in Uganda as she goes about her busy day and looks forward to her day of rest\, Shabbat. \nHow To Make Challah\nIn 1975\, Sarah Rosen’s aunt Jane filmed her 97-year-old immigrant grandmother baking challah\, the traditional Jewish bread. In 2022\, Sarah filmed her aunt Jane (now 80) baking challah herself for the very first time. Join us for a screening of the short documentary film “How to Make Challah\,” about one Jewish family’s relationship with baking and Jewish tradition\, followed by a discussion about the story of the film\, family history\, and the shifts in Jewish American identity reflected through the generations.\n\n\nFood for the Chosen People\n\nA group of LA friends battle for a table at legendary Chinese restaurant Yang Chow to continue the Jewish Christmas Day tradition. \nLife Must Go On\n\nOn October 7\, Ilya’s life was shattered when terrorists attacked his kibbutz — destroying his home\, killing one of his children\, and taking the other hostage. In the aftermath of an unthinkable loss\, he faces the impossible question: How do you find a way forward? \n\nWe’ve Been Here Before\n\nWe’ve Been Here Before is an intimate look at the non-conformists in the punk subculture who fought back against white nationalists and neo-Nazis in the 1990s. The film draws connections between those battles and the current rise in antisemitism and hate that threaten democracy today\, offering important lessons for the present. \nTracks: Stumbling Stones Amsterdam\n\nStolpersteine memorial stones glimmer along Amsterdam’s canals\, honoring Holocaust victims\, in this poetic and captivating exploration of memory\, art\, and the power of remembrance. \nThe Stage is Ours\n\nNearly 50 of the world’s best Jewish actors\, playwrights\, and directors gather at Broadway’s Lyceum Theatre to reflect on the history and meaning of Jewish theater. Featuring Jesse Eisenberg\, Tony Kushner\, Debra Messing\, Alex Edelman\, Idina Menzel\, Matthew Broderick\, and so many more!

SUMMARY:Twin Cities Jewish Film Festival: Never Alone
DESCRIPTION:Never Alone\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBased on real events\, Never Alone reveals a little-known chapter of World War II: the fate of Jewish refugees in Finland.

As Finland navigates an uneasy alliance with Nazi Germany and deportations to Auschwitz loom\, Stiller battles both external threats and internal opposition to save lives. A gripping portrait of courage and moral conviction\, Never Alone is a moving testament to resilience\, sacrifice\, and the enduring power of hope in the darkest of times.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCo-sponsored by the Jewish Community Relations Council of Minnesota and the Dakotas. \nCo-sponsored by the Finnish American Association.
