greatcoat welcome back. in the midst of one of a conversation with the executive director of the sentences could jewish film festival of and the program director the 36 didn't appear jewish film festival in the midst of having a wonderful conversation about the themes and film clips. i knew of lung the different teams usually to fell up the usual half have to do with something that has to do with an author or somebody is already in the cards and this year is featuring an author judy bloom? up yesterday the new phone called droid tiger eyes the very first film that is from and judy bloom novel. lawrence bloom directed the

film and judith plumas of the screen play so it will show the film with the castro on the 22nd of july and june on stage interview with her and her son her son directed the film. he's the director and tiger eyes is a really great story kind of typical of the judy plume book's talking about issues that teenagers can front in their growing up here's how this is about a young woman she plays the teenage characters who is basically cream and a loss of her father who was jewish and the mother takes her down to live in new mexico to live with your mother

sister to get over the death of her father and me to young native american boy who action helps her through the grieving process. hey it's the tiger we doing a thing? see those caves the people lived in them a hundred years ago my ancestors that part of my family lives 30 mi. that way. from my family is my great- grandmother lived in atlantic city and a boarding house 2,000 mi. that way. operate that way. we have a lot uncommon and his thinking the same thing. one of the most wonderful things i think about the film festival in all of these the two

years is that there's such diversity that whether you are single and went to the to remove it by yourself are just grab a bunch of friends and go out to dinner in a movie and have did it with the left to wonder just cost a lot and got to take it to committee gathering or every penny phil's welcome for it's really quite a phenomenal can't shop cultural under current here in san francisco some wondering how you have seen that kind of inclusive culture actually develop in the past 32 years. i see it as this large secular synagogue that you don't have to be jewish to come to the festival we have i think 30% non juice the tent and for some people they considered the secular high holidays for them a ton of community building and seeing people you haven't seen for your head think that's what

makes this a very special festival. when you think of generally speaking art as an education devise for a community have the scene of the ways in which it acts as a way to educate the non-jewish community to the diversity of jewish life worldwide? i think this festival and particularly focuses on diversity so if had many films underground parking comes about l g b t committees within jewish communities and use of color so i think that it really educate other cultures about the diversity within the jewish culture and then within the jewish audiences with a kind of high letting all the different stories from around the world that people would necessarily have the access to otherwise. and i think the flip of an effort to mix and converse isn't letting people know that they

themselves along the there's a place for everybody that literally in the theater but actually in the broader community itself. please join us in a moment turning to continue our conversation about the san francisco jewish film festival.
