San Francisco Jewish Film Festival Sets Premieres Including ‘www.rachelormont.com,’ ‘Torah Tropical’ (EXCLUSIVE)
The San Francisco Jewish Film Festival has slated two world premieres and one international premiere for its 2024 edition.
This year’s full lineup, which will be announced June 18, will highlight the diversity of Jewish experience across the globe. Directed by Jimmy Ferguson, Ezra Axelrod and Gloria Nancy Monsalve, the documentary follows a Colombian family of Orthodox Jews trying to make aliyah to Israel as the war on drugs rages around them. “As we put the final touches on our slate of films for this year’s festival, we’re excited to host the world premieres of these exciting films that put forward surprising and unexpected representations of Jewish identity on screen — at a time when mainstream depictions too often fail to reflect Jewishness in all its diversity and complexity,” said Lexi Leban, executive director of the Jewish Film Institute.
