SUMMARY:AJFF Presents "Bella"
DESCRIPTION:When Yaki becomes aware of Bella’s true identity — a curly plumed\, extremely valuable dove and his sole inheritance — it’s already too late. Yaki embarks with Bilal\, his childhood friend\, and their wives on a road trip across Israel and Palestine to bring Bella back. Along the way\, they navigate through checkpoints\, ruin a wedding\, steal the newlyweds’ car\, participate in a family reconciliation ceremony\, and revive the unconscious dove…. All in order to make it on time to a dove beauty pageant in Jerusalem.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: A comedy about a Jewish couple\, a Palestinian couple\, and a magical dove. From the directing team of a Jewish Israeli woman and a Palestinian man\, both Israeli citizens\, exploring together their wounds\, conditioning\, anger\, and laughter.

SUMMARY:AJFF Presents: "Jerusalem '67"
DESCRIPTION:In Jerusalem during the Six Day War\, a young civilian leaves her family to serve her country; a man who abhors war must fight within sight of his home; and a group of paratroopers are dispatched to the city for a battle they never trained for. \nWHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: Remarkably\, this is the first feature film about the 6 Day War. However\, more than a war film\, this movie tells the story of the recapture of the Western Wall through the eyes of a remarkable woman\, Sarah\, who is based on a real person and the events she experienced.  Event sponsored by B’nai Brith Austin.

SUMMARY:AJFF Presents: "Ain't No Back to a Merry Go Round"
DESCRIPTION:When five Howard University students sat on a segregated Maryland carousel in 1960\, the arrests made headlines. When the largely Jewish community near Glen Echo Amusement Park joined the Black students in picketing\, the first organized interracial civil rights protest in US history was born.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: Join us for a special screening of “Ain’t No Back to a Merry-Go-Round\,” an inspiring documentary that tells the story of Black students and Jewish neighbors who came together to challenge segregation 1960.\n\n\nPresented in partnership with ADL\, Shalom Austin\, NAACP\, Austin Area Urban League\, and the Black Auteur Film Festival

SUMMARY:AJFF presents "Midas Man"
DESCRIPTION:When Brian Epstein set foot in the Cavern Club in November 1961 to watch The Beatles perform\, he saw something no one else could – a glimmer of gold. Sharply dressed and well-spoken\, Brian was hardly the most obvious radical – but being Jewish\, closeted and having grown up as an outsider who had failed at pretty much everything\, he was a 26-year old with something to prove and who wanted to tear up the rulebook.

SUMMARY:AJFF Presents: "A Photographic Memory"
DESCRIPTION:Sheila Turner Seed was an award-winning New York City-based\, journalist in the 1970s who interviewed such photography luminaries as Henri Cartier-Bresson\, Gordon Parks\, Cecil Beaton\, and Lisette Model. When she passed away suddenly and tragically\, she left behind an infant daughter\, Rachel. More than 30 years later\, Rachel has herself become a filmmaker\, photographer\, and writer. A Photographic Memory marks a moving attempt to navigate grief and nostalgia as Rachel deep-dives into Shelia’s archives\, much of which had been forgotten.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWHY WE LIKE THIS FILM: Brought to our attention by Phil Spertus\, who knew Sheila Turner Seed\, this film is a beautifully made and touching story of her daughter\, Rachel trying to understand and connect with the mother she never got to know. Rachel is expected to travel to Austin for a post screening Q&A.
