See the Jewish Film Festival

On Tuesday, the Lenore Marwil Jewish Film Festival promises to hit the West Bloomfield Jewish Community Center with an "Israeli reality" courtesy of filmmaker-in-residence and guest from Israel, Galit Roichman. 

Roichman, a graduate of Tel Aviv University, screenwriter and online editor of popular Israeli web portal Ynet, will be the speaker for a lunch and learn beginning at noon on May 1 at the JCC, and she will host talk-backs following several films that highlight life in Israel: Strangers No More and Homecoming (showing together) and Restoration.

Festival Director Rachel Ruskin describes Roichman as "a captivating speaker" with an impressive knowledge of Israeli film.

"You buy a ticket to an Israeli film and you meet Israeli reality enlarged on the big screen, waiting for you to deal with it," added Roichman.

Tickets are $11 each and can be held at will call, or will be mailed for an additional $1 per ticket. Or purchase a patron pass, which allows guests to see all films, for $360, or a matinee pass (matinees only) for $40 for JCC members and $45 for nonmembers. To purchase tickets, visit theberman.org or call 248-661-1900.
