– By Cate Marquis –
The 22nd annual St. Louis Jewish Film Festival takes place June 4-8 at Landmark Plaza Frontenac Cinema. With 16 films from from nine countries, it is truly “A Global Film Feast.” The festival has seven narrative features and nine documentaries. Features include comedies, true-story dramas, mysteries and thrillers. The documentaries cover subjects including history, music, food and sports.
Zelda Sparks, Director of Director of Cultural Arts at the Jewish Community Center, which presents the festival, noted that there was an abundance of good films suitable for the festival available this year. “We had so many films to choose from this year,” she said. With so many, some choices had to be made, since the festival runs less than a week.
“Each is special for their own reasons. It just so strong this year,” Sparks said of the festival films line-up.
