Motion Pictures Showcasing Vibrant Aspects of Jewish Life and Tradition

The Jewish Cultural Festival in Osnabrück is set to be an exciting event, offering a diverse range of activities for all ages. From films that inspire and entertain to thought-provoking discussions, the festival promises to be a celebration of Jewish culture in all its facets.

One of the highlights of the festival is the screening of "Sky Raiders" at Cinema Arthouse on Friday, 5th September, at 9 am. This adventure film follows the journey of two young characters, Yotam and Noa, who discover a Czech aircraft from World War II on a local scrapyard. An old pilot named Morris helps them restore the aircraft to fly it at the annual airshow. However, Yotam's mother is concerned about his proximity to airplanes due to a past tragedy.

Another film not to be missed is "Irena's Secret", which will be screened on Sunday, 7th September, at 4 pm. Based on the true story of Irene Gut Opdyke, a Polish nurse who saved many lives during the German occupation of Poland, this film is a powerful testament to the resilience of the human spirit. Roman Haller, a baby born in hiding during this time, was saved by Irene Gut Opdyke and is still alive today.

For those looking for a lighter film, "Greener Pastures" revolves around a nursing home resident who lacks the necessary funds to buy back his old house. This comedy, which will be screened on Friday, 5th September, at 5 pm, offers a humorous take on the challenges of growing old.

"Seven Blessings", another film to be screened on the same day at 5 pm, is a heartwarming drama set in Israel in the 1990s. It follows a large Jewish-Moroccan family reuniting for a big wedding. The young bride was given to her childless sisters by her biological mother when she was two years old. Secrets, lies, and heartache come to light in this lively, funny, and turbulent film.

The Jewish Cultural Festival Osnabrück is offering more than just film screenings. Avi Toubiana, director of the festival, recommends the film "Irena's Secret" for Sunday, 7th September, at 4 pm. The festival is a celebration of diverse aspects of Jewish culture, including philosophy, humour, and more.
