Lovers, mothers, bakers, boxers, heroes and anti-heroes will all be part of the 2016 Maine Jewish Film Festival. You'll find the diversity, sophistication and entertainment you've come to expect from the MJFF in an international film selection that spans genres from powerful drama to wacky comedy, from edgy thriller to tender documentary. You'll meet characters that range from the greatest philanthropist you've never heard of, to a love-torn, hipster lawyer suing an all-powerful defendant; you'll see subjects that include tackle football in the Holy Land and zombies on the loose in Old Jerusalem. This Festival promises to deliver the breadth of experience that defines one of the Northern New England's most respected cultural events.
