Regarding the Israel Film Festival in Southern California, the absence of in-person exposure to filmmakers and actors is made-up for by the convenience of watching the films with Zoom discussions of filmmakers at your leisure.
Viewer access that was originally limited to Los Angeles County has been expanded for some movies (as indicated below) to all of California, and nation-wide for others. Additionally, access has been extended through Sunday 27 Dec for 9 movies, with 4 of them reachable throughout the U.S.
I did enjoy the "Ophir Award"-winning, "Here we Are" which is followed by a discussion with Nir Bergman, director; Shai Avivi, lead actor, moderated by L.A. Times film critic, Kenneth Turan. (It's the non-Ophir winners, though, that are being extended access to).

People of Jewish, Christian, and Israeli heritage benefit from seeing Israeli culture in documentary and drama, exported via the Israel Film Festival. Perhaps this year we can share it with new viewers beyond the movie theater. Please enjoy and share some of the celebrity remarks which JooTube has produced at the Israel Film Festival over the past decade.
Resulting from video-computer difficulties and a family tragedy this year, JooTube has shifted its publishing focus to social-networks, Facebook,YouTube, and Twitter, at the expense of this website and email list. As the censorship of our work on those social-media channels gets worse, we'd like to shift to alternative outlets, including resuming publishing on over-the-top broadband to television (Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video). If you'd like to continue to see JooTube's brand of on-the-scene, independent, pro-Jewish combating anti-Israelism and anti-Semitism reporting, would you please contribute to this mission? Supporting the cause of educating and protecting the Jewish people earn you manifold blessings in this world and the next. May you merit good health and freedom from trouble in the coming year!
