A total of 10 screenings of the 2024 Atlanta Jewish Film Festival will take place at the GTC Merchants Walk Cinema this weekend.
The films take place from Friday-Sunday, with tickets ranging from $16-$18 (full schedule here).
Prime-time screenings include Seven Blessings (Saturday, 7:40p) and Home (Sunday, 7:30p).
The former was the winner of 10 Israel Academy Awards in 2023, telling the story of a boisterous Moroccan-Jewish clan reunites for a cross-cultural wedding that surfaces festering secrets” in early 1990s Jerusalem. This is the Atlanta premiere.
The latter is a true-crime drama featuring “a newly married young man’s ambition to open a computer store in his ultra-Orthodox Jerusalem neighborhood,” and which “begets a shocking clash of tradition versus modernity.” The film was nominated for nine Israeli Academy Awards in 2023.
The festival includes in-person screenings of 31 feature films at four other venues in metro Atlanta through Feb. 26, then streaming from Feb. 27-March 7.
