Most of the films will be shown in the afternoon or early evening at Village 8 Theaters, but the last one will be shown at the Frazier International Historical Museum in downtown Louisivlle. Tickets are $8.50 if purchased in advance. Tickets purchased at the theater are $10. Student rate tickets are also available for $6.00. Call 459-0660 for advance tickets.

Organizers are looking for patrons to help support the festival. The award winning, provocative and international films are an expensive undertaking, and in order to maintain a reasonable ticket price financial help is needed, they report. 

Support is helpful at any level and the committee has several options for giving. If you would like to become a patron, please visit https://www.alphaleasing.com/JewishFilmFestival.asp
