Picture this: 19 films. 10 days. 10 countries. That's the scope of the Mandell HCC Hartford Jewish Film Festival running in the Hartford region from March 12–22. Among the films drawing special interest are The Outrageous Sophie Tucker and Above and Beyond: The Birth of the Israeli Air Force, produced by Nancy Spielberg, who will attend the screening and speak.
As for films that are about recent news events is Havana Curveball, about a baseball-loving Bar Mitzvah teen who connects with kids in need. As for guilty pleasures, we're especially interested in It Happened in Saint-Tropez, a whirlwind of family dysfunction.
