Love this team. For 2 years, it has been my joy to be on the board of @VJFF. Opening night was a huge success. Our festival kicks off this weekend, and there is truly something for everyone. See you at the movies! 🎬 https://t.co/RfLYFg7a4H

“Judaism gave him the space to ask questions and to speak with God directly, though giving up belief in Jesus was hard, he admits.”

Adam is one of the potential converts interviewed in the documentary Converts: The Journey of Becoming Jewish.

This year’s @VJFF offers many poignant films – dramas sprinkled with humour that invite contemplation, and hope that we flawed humans are capable of change and loving one another, despite our insecurities and differences.

Robert Albanese is excited to share the best that cinema has to offer without being constrained by some of the more restricting expectations of running a film festival.

Watched some great short films @vjff this morning.

Learned about Camp Kinderland and The Workman’s Circle, 2 summer camps for Jewish kids that were started in US 🇺🇸 in the 1920s.

Love learning about things that are new to me.
