Jewish film festival: It begins tonight

One of my favorite movie events every year is the annual Spokane Jewish Cultural Film Festival. (I'm still reeling, so to speak, from last year's entry "Bethlehem," which had one of the most shattering endings of any film I have ever seen.) Anyway, the festival has returned for an 11th year, and it begins tonight at 7:30, at the Magic Lantern Theater, with a screening of the movie "Zero Motivation."

Screenings continue on Saturday with an 8 p.m. showing of "The Green Prince" (a 6:45 festival reception will precede the movie at Boots Bakery & Lounge, which sits across the street from the theater), and then 7:30 p.m. Sunday with "Above and Beyond."

Admission is $10 ($7 for students and seniors) per show ($25 for the reception and Saturday's show). For more information, click here.
