Boca Raton, FL – Levis JCC’s Sandler Center announces its 2021 Virtual Judy Levis Krug Boca Raton Jewish Film Festival (BRJFF). Now through May 16, 2021, film aficionados will have the flexibility and convenience to explore over 50 Jewish-themed films from around the world ranging from historical dramas to documentaries—all from the comfort and safety of their own homes. Additionally, the 2021 Virtual Festival will include insightful Q&A webinars with filmmakers, cast members, and community lecturers, as well as the opportunity to view the film up to 72 hours after its scheduled time.
“While we are still unable to host our community of film enthusiasts in local theaters, we now have the unique opportunity to present more films than ever, all while expanding our reach far beyond county lines,” said Wendy Honig BRJFF Artistic Director.
Not-to-be-missed films include Golden Voices (1/17-1/23), a film that offers an intimate glimpse into the experience of Soviet Jews during the single largest wave of immigration in Israel’s history–all with the perfect mix of poignancy, levity and heart; Here We Are (1/25-1/26), a soulful drama that touches on family ties, the rights of the differently abled, and the sadness of aging; Maverick Modigliani (Feb. 14-16),a documentary chronicling Modigliani’s short and tormented life and journey to later become one of the most highly rated and copied artists in the world; Asia (Feb. 23-25),a film about motherhood, sacrifice, and love. Asia stars Shira Haas, star of Netflix’s Unorthodox and winner of the Best Actress Award at the Tribeca Film Festival 2020. A full program guide including dates, showtimes, trailers, a synopsis of each film, and Q&A’s are available on http://bocaff.org/.
“Our strong relationship with the film industry has allowed us to present our patrons with a high-quality line-up of films and speakers year after year, in turn, we are able to continue to inspire, educate and connect with our community year after year,” said Lesley Rich, BRJFF Program & Production Director.
