Virtual Stowe Jewish Film Festival
THE STOWE JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL IS GOING
V-I-R-T-U-A-L!
Due to the need for social distancing measures, and because we all need more – and better – entertainment these days, the Stowe Jewish Film Festival is pleased to announce that, this year, our films will be offered to the community AT NO COST for you to view from the comfort of your home!
Although these films are FREE, if you would like to donate to the Stowe Jewish Film Festival you can do so HERE.
The fifth annual Stowe Jewish Film Festival has been re-imagined in the wake of the Covd-19 crisis as a virtual experience. It will take place over three weeks and features three films we believe are the most exciting selections yet. Under a unifying theme of Crossing Boundaries, each of these films deals with subjects of unusual, unexpected intra- or inter-cultural collaboration, individual quests across divides, or situations that result in surprising transformations and understand of "others." Each film is available to view from home over a three day period starting on the dates noted on the registration page for the individual films.
A world famous conductor takes on the challenge of forming an Israeli-Palestinian youth orchestra in an attempt to create harmony out of discord. Please register for the film in advance HERE.

May 31-June 2
My Polish Honeymoon
The highly emotional subject of Jewish tourism in Poland is surprisingly dealt with as a romantic-comedy seen through the eyes of a young couple seeking a connection to their ancestral home. Please register for the film in advance HERE.
