The SF Jewish Film Festival is here and there are some worthwhile films on Israel/Palestine issues. Some offer historical background or a vision of coexistence. Others address the problems Palestinians face in regard to the occupation. None of them affirm the status quo. The Festival’s leadership continues to show courage. All of these films are listed under a heading called “Bridges and Barriers”.

The film screenings are already underway so Ready, Set, Go! see one or some or all of them! The shows remaining are as follows:
