When Alexis (Felix Lefebvre) capsizes off the coast of Normandy, David (Benjamin Voisin) comes to the rescue and soon opens the younger boy's eyes to a new horizon of friendship, art, and sexual bliss. Adapted by Francois Ozon from Aidan Chambers's classic 1982 novel Dance On My Grave.
Despite the challenges it faced over the past year, the Miami Jewish Film Festival returns this week with its largest and most ambitious program ever. While much of 2020 has been defined by isolation and social distance, the festival has placed accessibility above all else. The 24th edition includes virtual screenings, drive-ins, and in-person outdoor viewings, allowing for multiple entry points. Moreover, festival organizers have gone great lengths to offer all of this year’s content free of charge, eliminating any barrier to discovering the latest and best contemporary Jewish cinema. With more than 100 films screening over the next two weeks (April 14-29), there s plenty of time to find your favorites.
