The opening night film is Wet Dog, a German drama that explores complex issues of cultural and religious identity for a Jewish-Iranian teen living in a largely Arab and Muslim suburb of Berlin. The film is based on Arye Shalicar’s autobiography Ein Nasser Hund, and Arye Shalicar will discuss the film on Zoom. The in-person screening of this film is scheduled at Rutgers Cinema on November 13 at 8 p.m.

Other titles in the festival include Muranow, Marry Me However, Yerusalem: The Incredible Story of Ethiopian Jewry and others. The festival will feature online discussions with filmmakers.
