Note: I am being comped for my tickets to these movies.  How sweet is that? But you know I would never go see movies that didn’t interest me.  That is, movies that are Russian, Jewish, and depressing.

I’m going to the Washington DC Jewish Film Festival next week! It starts on Friday, December 3rd, and goes until December 13th, at a number of venues throughout the city, including the Washington DC JCC and the AFI Silver Theatre in Silver Spring, as well as the Embassy of France. Snazzy!

Are you going? If you plan on it, let  me know and we can meet up.  I am really, really excited about it because I’m going to be seeing four or five films and reporting back.  Here is a list of all the movies playing.   Can  you guess which ones I’m going to see and review?

I’ll give you a hint:

Gift to Stalin

The hint is it's something Russian, Jewish, and depressing, yet informative of my rich cultural heritage.
