We Should Eat
Growing Up Mizrahi - Through cartoons and music this short documentary explores what it's like to be the UK-born daughter of Iraqi Jews growing up in an Ashkenormative world.
The Eighth Day - Noah and Jonah are gay Jewish husbands and new parents to a baby boy. When Noah and Jonah's parents arrive at their home expecting a traditional bris for their grandson, Noah and Jonah are forced to reveal that they had something very different in mind for their son: no circumcision.
More Than Friends - An Israeli short that delves into themes of acceptance, love, and the complexities of relationships. It tells the heartfelt story of a quirky lesbian mom who discovers a love letter written by her 11-year-old son to another boy.
The Anne Frank Gift Shop - Is there a wrong way to talk about the Holocaust? That's the question at the heart of THE ANNE FRANK GIFT SHOP, a dark comedy about anti-Semitism that packs a vital and timely message. When a high-end design firm presents its plans to reimagine the gift shop at The Anne Frank House, the company's overt appeal to Generation Z sparks a debate about collective trauma, the Holocaust and tote bags.
