2019 Atlanta Jewish Film Festival Opening Night

The Atlanta Jewish Film Festival begins with the Atlanta premiere of Shoelaces. Nominated for eight Israeli Academy Awards including Best Film, the film is a wholly engaging, tender family dramedy about the knotty relationship between an aging, irascible mechanic and the exuberant special-needs son he abandoned long before. With his ex-wife’s untimely demise, Reuven (Doval’e Glickman, in an Israeli Academy Award-winning role) is suddenly thrust into the position of caring for his now-grown son, whom he first considers placing in a group home. Audience members can look forward to a post-film discussion with lead actor Nevo Kimchi. For more details, visit www.ajff.org. Tickets go on sale January 28, 2019. #AJFF2019
