Is Dialogue Possible? How Films Help Us Talk About Israel (…Or Not)
Announced today, this San Francisco Jewish Film Festival Special Event features the films of grantees Ronit Avni (Budrus) and Lisa Gossels (My So-Called Enemy).
The controversy following SFJFF’s 2009 screening of the documentary Rachel left many in the Jewish community struggling with how best to broach difficult issues regarding Israel through programming.
Join filmmakers—including Ronit Avni (Budrus) and Lisa Gossels (My So Called Enemy)—and experts in civic engagement to discuss the role (and perhaps limits) of film to foster constructive dialogue about potentially difficult topics.
Moderated by Ellen Schneider, former executive producer of PBS’s P.O.V. documentary series, and founder of Active Voice, an organization that helps create civic dialogue and public engagement around social-issue documentaries.
