Watch the 2009 San Francisco Jewish Film Festival Trailer

We are often asked, ‘What makes a film Jewish?’ According to SFJFF’s programming team, a Jewish film’ is not necessarily one with a Jewish cast, or even one with overtly Jewish themes, but one that can generate discussion or otherwise be appreciated within a Jewish context. The notion that the meaning of a film can shift when placed within a different, culturally-specific context is one that influenced SFJFF Program Coordinator Joshua Moore and Mario Grijalva. The pair share directing credits for this year’s Festival trailer, soon to be shown in theaters near you.

You can find aspects of Jewish culture in pop culture,” says SFJFF Program Coordinator Joshua Moore, one of the directors of the 2009 SFJFF trailer, “but when you place these back in a Jewish context, they take on new meaning. In the trailer, we used Yiddish words that hold a larger, more universal appeal. Similarly, the Festival showcases films that anyone can appreciate, whether Jewish or not.”

Watch the trailer and enjoy, regardless of your tribal affiliation.

A person can be said to love

Submitted by alexed on Thu, 01/28/2010 - 11:32.

A person can be said to love an object, principle, or goal if they value it greatly and are deeply committed to it. Similarly, compassionate outreach and volunteer workers' "love" of their Promotional Merchandise cause may sometimes be borne not of interpersonal love, but impersonal love coupled with altruism and strong political convictions. People can also "love" material objects, animals, or activities if they invest themselves in bonding or otherwise identifying with those things. If sexual passion is also involved, this condition is called paraphilia.
