New York Jewish Film Festival 2020
Dec 18, 2019
The Jewish Museum and Film at Lincoln Center will continue their partnership to bring audiences the 29th Annual New York Jewish Film Festival, presenting films from around the world that explore the Jewish experience. This year's festival presents an engaging lineup of narratives, documentaries, and shorts, from restored classics to world premieres.
Dani Menkin's documentary Aulcie is the Opening Night selection, screening in its New York premiere on Thursday, January 16. The Closing Night film will be the New York premiere of Dror Zahavi's Crescendo on Tuesday, January 28. The Centerpiece selection, The Birch Tree Meadow, focuses on the career of Marceline Loridan-Ivens, the French film director, author, producer, and actress who died in 2018. The 2020 NYJFF marks the 50th anniversary of legendary director Vittorio De Sica's Academy Award-winning The Garden of the Finzi-Continis and will also present the World Premiere of the new 35mm restoration of Charles Davenport's long-lost 1919 silent film Broken Barriers, a piece that inspired Fiddler on the Roof.
