There is also a push to diversify the festival’s reach beyond the Jewish community. ‘This festival brings the community together’The festival will also feature a free screening of the animated film “Charlotte,” winner of the Audience Award for Music/Art/Design at the 40th Vancouver International Film Festival. We want to show the community the beauty of Jewish culture, the difficulty of Jewish culture, and the capabilities and strength of the Jewish community.
