Don’t miss this year’s Miami Jewish Film Festival, running from January 9-23 in the Sunshine State.
Forward editor-in-chief Jodi Rudoren will get in on the action, interviewing Dani Merkin, the director of the documentary, “Aulcie” which continues the story of his award-winning film, “On the Map,” on Monday, January 13. Before the world-premier event, at the Michael-Ann Russell JCC in Aventura, there will be a reception for South Florida-area subscribers and supporters.
She will moderate a panel the next night as well, after the movie, “Incitement.”
The Miami Jewish Film Festival will feature six world premieres, four official entries for the Academy Awards and 27 Israeli feature films. There will be 25 countries represented and 29 films directed by women (31% of the program). Expect 10 marquee events with live performances, including 2 silent films celebrating their centennial (which will feature a new commissioned live score) and six films included in the Festival’s Spotlight on Ibero-American Cinema, including films from Argentina, Brazil, and Spain.

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.
This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.
With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
