25th Annual JFilm Festival

Tonight marks the start of Film Pittsburgh’s 25th Annual JFilm Festival, an event celebrating Jewish culture in film. The festival is 11 days long and will feature a variety of guests discussing topics to expand the audience’s understanding of Jewish themes. Opening the festival is the Pittsburgh premiere of Heading Home: The Tale of Team Israel, a story about Israel’s national baseball team. With a makeshift squad of Jewish-American MLB players, some of whom never set foot in Israel, they go on to do what seemed impossible. -Lauren Ortego
