SUMMARY:41st Buffalo International Jewish Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue\nDirector: Barry Avrich\nCanada 2025\, 95 mins\, English\n\nIn a harrowing real-life story that echoes Taken\, the feature documentary The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue follows retired Israeli general Noam Tibon\, who\, on October 7\, 2023\, received a desperate text from his son: terrorists had stormed his home\, and he\, his wife\, and their two young daughters feared for their lives. With no time to spare\, Noam and his wife\, Gali\, embarked on a ten-hour mission across a country under siege to save their family. Relying only on his instincts and military training\, Noam navigated ambushes\, roadblocks\, and a collapsing security system in a relentless race against time. Directed by acclaimed Canadian filmmaker Barry Avrich\, the film retraces every step of that day\, blending intimate firsthand testimony with the raw urgency of a survival thriller. Set against the backdrop of one of Israel’s darkest days\, The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue is both a gripping cinematic retelling of an extraordinary rescue and an unflinching look at the failures and resilience revealed on October 7. At its core\, it is a profoundly human story about courage\, family\, and the power of love in the face of unimaginable terror.\n\nThis film is sponsored by Judith Halpern\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER

SUMMARY:41st Buffalo International Jewish Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:The Stamp Thief\nDirector: Dan Sturman\nUSA 2025\, 103 mins\, English\n\nFrom an Oscar-\, Peabody-\, and Emmy-winning team\, “The Stamp Thief” is part detective story\, part heist film\, and part untold history. The documentary investigates a tale dating back to the Holocaust: that a mysterious Nazi stole priceless stamp collections from concentration camp victims and buried the stolen stamps in a small town in Poland. Embarking on a real-life “Argo”-like adventure\, one-time “Seinfeld” producer Gary Gilbert sets out to confirm the story and recover the stamps. His tactic: a fake movie shoot. His goal: to return the stamps to their rightful owners\, hopefully delivering a small measure of justice more than 70 years after the Holocaust.\n\nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER
