The 2017 Jewish International Film Festival screens at the Lido and Classic Cinemas here in Melbourne from October 25 through to November 22. This year, the festival presents 65 films from across the globe that celebrate the remarkable diversity of Jewish culture and storytelling – from Israel, France and Australia, to the Yiddish-speaking neighbourhoods of Brooklyn. This year’s program includes 38 features and 23 documentaries. The opening night film is Menashe, while the closing night film is The Rebel In The Rye, a drama about the young J D Salinger, author of the classic coming of age tale Catcher In The Rye. Greg spoke to festival director Eddie Tamir to find out more about the line-up of films for this year’s festival.
