SUMMARY:41st Buffalo International Jewish Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Following the screening of Hora by Avi Weissblei\, please join us for a reception with treats\, and a dance instructor will lead us in learning the Hora.\n\nHora\nDirector: Avi Weissblei\nIsrael 2025\, 60 mins\, Hebrew with English subtitles\n\nOne hundred years after the creation of the local Hora dance\, we go back to the great dream that began then and continues to this day. It is a legend that tells the story of the folk dance movement’s formation\, told through the voices of those who were once stars of this world. They reveal the women who brought with them styles\, movements\, and a variety of ethnic dances that helped shape the concept of culture—East and West—transforming into a center through the dance circles. But today\, in the struggle for reality and the future\, will folk dancing remain\, or will it become merely a relic of the past?\nTicket Cost: $18\n\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

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
