San Diego Jewish Film
Festival
February 8-18, 2007
The 17th Annual San Diego Jewish
Film Festival kicked off on the 8th with a rousing opening night party sponsored
by our very favorite party planner, Diana, who happens to be the
Barliant in BarliantWisch of website fame. The event is a major Festival and
frankly, after speaking to some of the artists who dropped in, is really well
done by the staff. Some said it was the best Festival they attend and they tell
their friends.

picture to see the big picture.)

The Kickoff Reception Thank goodness that there was no
kickoff dinner this year since Diana had to do the job. A reception
is a lot of work but she did a spectacular job. A good time was had
by all. It was held at the theater after the opening night
performance. |
The space before the transformation. |

Without Eve and Mick, I wouldn't have had a snowball's chance in the
Negev getting the slideshow running. Thanks, kids... I really
appreciate your efforts. Hopefully the SDJFF people do, too. |

Not satisfied with a crushing workload, Sandra adds a cute broken shoulder
to the job.
(It may be an acute broken shoulder but since it's Sandra's it's pretty
cute... too.) |

San Diego Jewish Academy Two of the film makers visit
the SDJA to speak to the students and show a moment of clips of
their work. |

Lunch at the Harrison's The Last Supper of the Festival
was a packed event. Great food, wonderful surroundings and good
company are an unbeatable combination. |

Whodathought that Phyllis would look good in mitts?! Stylish, as
usual. |
Trust me on this... nothing would have gone right without these two.
Thanks, kids!!! |

Scott Cohen Scott was certainly the best known actor at
the Festival to me. I've seen him in dozens of roles and have even
watched some of his movies. In person, he is also a really nice guy.
He kept Sandra enthralled at lunch and all of us a dinner. You can
visit his IMDB listing by

A view from the top of the world.(This photo
should have gone in the preceding section but I forgot to allow
space. If you close your eyes, you can imagine Scott looking out at
the view over your right shoulder,) |
The Final Event
After all is said and done, the sayers and doers go eat. A good time
is had by all as evidenced with these photos. |
The group photo is self explanatory, although it is notable because
Sandra is smiling on the first try. The one on the right... only
Linda can explain. |
