The New York Jewish Film Festival (January 12-23) opens strongly with “America,” gay writer/director Ofir Raul Graizer’s (“The Cakemaker”) outstanding film about three intertwined lives. Eli had changed his name (from Greenberg) because of a traumatic episode from his past and moved to America. One other film by a gay filmmaker, along with two shorts featuring queer subjects, will also screen at the New York Jewish Film Festival.
