    For My Father - A spellbinding story of a young Arab who volunteers for a suicide bombing mission in an effort to redeem his family’s honor. When the switch fails to detonate, he finds himself stranded in a Tel Aviv neighborhood over a weekend. During that brief period, he develops deep and profound connections with three Israelis whose lives intersect with his. We learn that all these characters are imperfect people with more in common than would have been imagined. This is a story of humanity in a potentially inhuman situation.

    Gruber's Journey (Cataloria lui Gruber) - Curzio Malaparte is sent to Romania in 1941 as a war correspondent for Italy’s leading newspaper. He is in desperate need of medical help and so was given the name of a doctor who could solve his medical problem. This doctor is nowhere to be found, leading Malaparte to begin a search in which he witnesses, after the fact, the results of a major pogrom at Jassy. This powerful feature film is a dramatic indictment of the collaborationist government of Romania. Following the film, meet and ask questions of Radu Gabrea, director and co-writer of the film, who is traveling from Romania to be with the SVJFF audience.  Mr. Gabrea has an extensive film and theater background, including as director of Maria Callas – La Divina that was appreciated by the audiences in New York, Washington, Tampere (International Theatre Festival), Helsinki, Canberra (International Cultural Festival), and Sydney.
