Jewish Film Festival continues at Procrastinator Theater
Under the auspices of Congregation Beth Shalom, this summer marks the third consecutive year of the Bozeman Jewish Film Festival bringing outstanding films of Jewish interest to Southwest Montana. From comedy to drama to documentary film, the presentations will run the gamut. Films screen at the comfortable Procrastinator Theater in the Student Union Building (SUB) on the MSU campus on various Wednesdays through August at 7pm each evening.
All award winners in various categories, here’s a peek at this season’s remaining film schedule.
Following on July 26th, Denial is the gripping drama of the pursuit, through the United Kingdom court system, of a historian by a Holocaust denier. This is taken from what actually happened in 1996 and, given the current conversations about alternative truths, is as up-to-date as today.
Closing out the film festival on August 2nd is Keep Quiet. The riveting documentary follows a young Hungarian neo-Nazi politician whose life is upended when he learns of his Jewish roots. Truth is often inconvenient.
There is no fee for admission to any of the films, although any donations at the door are gratefully accepted.
