Goldberg says in the release that audiences "can expect to experience an out- standing roster of new award-winning films that span almost 80 years in time and culture — from Europe and Tel Aviv in the 1930s to France in the 1940s to Rome in the 1990s to contemporary settings in Israel — and in outer space. It's going to be a whirlwind journey!" FEDERATION TO PRESENT FIFTH ANNUAL JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL The Jewish Cardinal will be shown during the Jewish Film Festival.
