	Entering its 12th year, The Sacramento Jewish Film Festival takes place at the Crest Theatre every Spring. Tired of schlepping to the Bay Area for her annual Jewish film fix, co-founder Margi Park-Landau, Volunteer Coordinator, teamed with theatre Manager, Sid Heberger in 1997 and the Sacramento Jewish Film Festival was born.
	Among the Festival's goals are to seek out and present unique, humorous, powerful, touching and personal films from around the world which focus on the Jewish experience. Past offerings have included sensitive and sometimes controversial titles such as "A Trumpet in the Wadi" and "Trembling Before God", award winning films such as "One Day Crossing" and "The Life and Times of Hank Greenberg" and humorous shorts such as "God @ Heaven", "Gefilte Fish", and "The West Bank Story".
	Guest speakers, live music and a nosh round out this two-day event. Friends of the Festival, including a dedicated cadre of Volunteers keep the Festival tradition alive.
	Our 2009 film festival takes place February 7th (Saturday evening) and February 8th (Sunday Afternoon) at the Historic Crest Theater.
