The Charlotte Jewish Film Festival -
We’ve Got an App for That
JCC Donations
Every year, the Charlotte Jew
ish Film Festival looks for ways
to reaeh more people so we ean
share our fantastie films with
everyone. We are exeited about
two new avenues we feel will help
to bring the Festival to new demo
graphies: our new smartphone app
and an early ehildhood film and
program.
That’s right, read about all the
award-winning films and pur-
ehase tiekets right from your
smartphone. The Charlotte Jewish
Film Festival was awarded a grant
by the Jewish Federation of
Greater Charlotte Community Im-
paet Fund to develop a mobile app
eompatible with iPhone/iPad and
android operating systems. This
app has been developed under the
guidanee of Stan Rose by Dr.
Farhad Javidi, CEO, and President
of Symbrio Corporation of Char
lotte, a national leader in games
and app development. You ean
download the app for free from
your eellphone provider’s app
store, referenee CLT Jewish Film
Festival.
This year the Festival has
something for our presehoolers,
too. Join us on Sunday, Mareh 3
for the film The Seder on Planet
Matzah Ball at Goreliek Flail,
Levine JCC, 10:30 AM. No one
on Planet Matzah Ball knows how
to run a Seder, so Oogy (an
adorable Muppet-like eharaeter)
travels to Earth to find out all
about Pesaeh. Film will be fol
lowed by a eraft projeet. This free
program is eo-sponsored by the
Levine-Sklut Judaiea Library and
is sure to be great fun for you and
your little ones.
The 9th Annual Charlotte Jew
ish Film Festival is just around the
eomer, mark your ealendars for
Mareh 2-17 and make sure to
eheek out these international films
that run the gamut from doeumen-
tary to romantie eomedy to family
drama - there is sure to be some
thing that eaptures your imagina
tion and your heart. Don’t forget
that you ean see all of them with
the All-Festival Pass for $85 ($30
in savings). Tiekets ean be pur-
ehased at www.eharlottejewish-
film.eom, at the Levine-Sklut
Judaiea Library (a staff member
will help you with your internet
purehase), or in person at the
Levine JCC on February 17 (be

eiety of Charlotte sereening of
