SUMMARY:ADA - My Mother the Architect
DESCRIPTION:Israel/USA 2024 | Director: Yael Melamede | English & Hebrew with English subtitles | 81 minutes\nDocumentary \nAda Karmi Melamede is one of the most accomplished architects of her generation in her native Israel and abroad.

In this heartfelt and elegantly made documentary\, her daughter Yael Melamede\, a filmmaker and former architect herself\, movingly profiles a woman and artist deeply tested by the realities of career and motherhood\, a unique mother-daughter bond\, and a fragile nation grappling with unrealized dreams. \nWinner: Best Cinematography\, Jerusalem IFF 2024 \n  \nClick Here to Purchase Your Festival Passes   Click Here for the Complete Festival Schedule\n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Charles Grodin: Rebel with a Cause
DESCRIPTION:USA 2025 | Director: James L. Freedman | English | 93 minutes\nDocumentary \nThis entertaining and touching documentary pays tribute to the extraordinary life and career of a man who was not only a talented actor-comedian and broadcast personality\, but also a tireless social activist. A master of dry wit and deadpan delivery\, Charles Grodin captivated audiences with beloved performances in The Heartbreak Kid\, Midnight Run\, Catch 22\, Beethoven\, and countless sharp-witted late-night TV appearances. Raised in a Jewish household in Pittsburgh\, his life embodied the concept of “Tikkun Olam”. The film highlights his focus in later life on championing meaningful causes\, using his platform as CNBC talk show host to advocate for justice and pressing social issues – in particular\, his remarkable\, decades-long fight to get wrongfully convicted people – most of whom were mothers of color with young children – out of prison. Through a treasure trove of film and TV clips\, insightful interviews\, and heartfelt reflections\, this enlightening film celebrates a singular talent who left an indelible mark on both entertainment and humanity.   \n  \nClick Here to Purchase Your Festival Passes   Click Here for the Complete Festival Schedule\n  \n \nProudly sponsored by \nTHE GUREVITCH FAMILY ENDOWMENT FUND \nSheila Gurevitch \nIllana & Henry Morton and Family \nDr. Darryl & Allison Gurevitch and Family \nDr. Jason & Cheryl Gurevitch and Family

SUMMARY:The Last Twins
DESCRIPTION:USA 2025 | Directors: Perri Peltz & Matthew O’Neill | English | 80 minutes\nDrama \nThe Last Twins is the never-before-told story of an unsung hero of the Holocaust\, Erno “Zvi” Spiegel\, who risked everything to save dozens of young twins from almost certain death at Auschwitz. Under the shadow of Dr. Josef Mengele’s horrific experiments\, Spiegel used his courage\, compassion\, and ingenuity to shield the most vulnerable—the sets of twins targeted for brutal medical experimentation. Mengele put Spiegel in charge of the young boys\, but Spiegel used his position to protect and comfort the children\, all of whom had been torn from their families and subjected to inhumane tests under the constant threat of extermination. Through first-hand testimony and exclusive archival material\, this poignant documentary brings to life the voices of those who survived because of Spiegel’s defiance – a testament to resilience\, sacrifice\, and the power of one person to make a difference\, even in humanity’s darkest hour. \n  \nClick Here to Purchase Your Festival Passes   Click Here for the Complete Festival Schedule\n  \n \nScreening of The Last Twins\n \nis open to the entire community\, at NO CHARGE\,  \nas part of our community-wide KRISTALLNACHT COMMEMORATION  \nProudly co-sponsored by  \nCALGARY JEWISH FEDERATION

SUMMARY:The Road Between Us: The Ultimate Rescue
DESCRIPTION:Canada 2025 | Director: Barry Avrich | English | 95 minutes\nDocumentary \nPerhaps the most talked about film of this year’s Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF)\, The Road Between Us was originally pulled from the TIFF lineup to great controversy\, only to be ultimately reinstated\, and going on to win the festival’s People’s Choice Award for Best Documentary. The film follows retired Israeli general Noam Tibon\, who on October 7\, 2023\, received a desperate text from his son Amir: Hamas terrorists had stormed Amir’s home on a kibbutz near the Gaza border\, and he\, his wife\, and their two young daughters feared for their lives. With no time to spare and relying only on his instincts and military training\, Noam sets out from Tel Aviv – 85 kilometres away – together with his wife Gali – navigating ambushes\, roadblocks\, and a collapsing security system – in a relentless race against time to reach and save their family. \nSet against the backdrop of one of Israel’s darkest days\, and blending intimate firsthand testimony with the raw urgency of a survival thriller\, this film is both a gripping cinematic retelling of an extraordinary rescue\, and a profoundly human story about courage\, family\, resilience\, and the human capacity for bravery and love in the darkest of moments.   \n  \nClick Here to Purchase Your Festival Passes   Click Here for the Complete Festival Schedule\n  \n \n  \nProudly co-sponsored by JAC – Jewish Adult Calgary
