SUMMARY:Left Lane Straight
DESCRIPTION:USA 2026 | Director: Caroline Kaye | English\, Greek & Ladino with English subtitles | 81 minutes\nDocumentary \nFilmed over 30 years\, this intimate and compelling documentary begins with a teenager’s search through her Sephardic Greek-Jewish family’s fragmented identity and turbulent history – from Holocaust survival to immigration – and morphs over time into an adult’s examination of the intersection of family\, history\, and identity. Filmmaker Caroline Kaye skillfully weaves together personal testimonies\, family lore\, recovered footage – and stunning embroidered artwork created by Caroline herself – alongside historical context spanning multiple exiles and migrations—from Medieval Spain to the Ottoman Empire to 1970s New York. Artistically creative and deeply personal\, Left Lane Straight traces the story of Sephardic Jews from Thessaloniki\, Greece – nearly erased during the Holocaust – and centers on Caroline’s “nona” (grandmother in Ladino)\, whose wartime escape through occupied Greece reshaped her life and family forever. \nClick Here to Purchase Your Festival Passes   Click Here for the Complete Festival Schedule\n  \n \nA small collection of Caroline Kaye’s EMBROIDERED ARTWORK will be on display.

SUMMARY:Frontier
DESCRIPTION:Spain/Belgium 2025 | Director: Judith Colell | Spanish with English subtitles | 100 minutes\nDrama \nInspired by true events\, this gripping wartime drama is set in 1943 in a remote Spanish border village in the Pyrenees mountains.  In defiance of the Franco regime’s orders to seal the border to Jews fleeing Nazi-occupied France\, customs officer Manel Grau begins quietly aiding the desperate refugees in their quest for freedom. With the help of Juliana\, a courageous villager\, and Jérôme\, a French smuggler\, what starts as a solitary act of conscience soon becomes a growing network of silent resistance\, as they shepherd the refugees across the border via perilous and treacherous mountain passes. As suspicion rises and the regime closes in\, their clandestine mission threatens not only Manel’s own life but also the safety of his wife\, Mercè\, forcing them to confront old wounds from the still-recent Spanish Civil War – turning personal scars into a powerful act of resistance. Tense and heartfelt\, this stirring story sheds light on a little-known chapter of history where ordinary people chose bravery over silence. \nWinner: Best Film\, Best supporting Actress\, Audience Award\, Catalan Academy Awards 2026 \n\nClick Here to Purchase Your Festival Passes   Click Here for the Complete Festival Schedule
