The Louisville Jewish Film Festival
announces its 26^th season!

The festival is showcasing a spectacular season featuring 17 top-rated, thought-provoking films including 7 short films. In addition, the festival will present 6 special event programs.

Our 26^th season will open at the Trager Family JCC with the film Remembering Gene Wilder, an affectionate biographical documentary that displays the full measure of Gene Wilder’s gifts as a comedic actor of great depth, a writer, a director, and a mensch. The film will be accompanied by a Willy Wonka themed reception at 7 p.m. with light hors d’oeuvres and scrumdiddlyumptious Wonka-style treats. Your Golden Ticket to the event includes a chance to win a gift card to Meesh Meesh, owned and operated by award-winning Chef Noam Bilitzer. The evening will feature a special recorded cameo appearance by comedian, Ariel Elias. Ms. Elias will talk about the value of humor, especially in tough times.

New this year, the festival is featuring a Shorts & Shots event
at Louisville Slugger Museum and Factory.

This bourbon tasting and short film experience will include four award-winning and exceptional short films, a customized tasting experience including four topflight bourbon selections, a light food sampling of cheese and crackers and bourbon balls.
