Our distinguished list of 26 features and documentaries includes 13 Israeli films. Isaac Zablocki, the Director of the Israel Film Center, describes this years’ crop of Israeli films as offering “a new development in Israeli cinematic language.” He cites our opening film, The Man in the Wall, for its “groundbreaking methods of presentation, taking innovation to a new level.” The Man in the Wall Our features include many Ophir (Israel’s version of the Academy Awards) Photo by: Ziv Berkovich winners and nominees, including Best Picture Winner Baba Joon and Best Actress Winner, Moran Rosenblatt in Wedding Doll (see cover). Additionally, films from Canada, Germany, France, Bulgaria, Denmark, Argentina, Great Britain, the U.S. and Hungary will be presented. This is our second year to offer a Chairman’s Choice. Everything is Illuminated is one of those rare films as engaging as its critically acclaimed source material, a novel by Jonathan Safran Foer. It features humor, sadness, beauty and an unforgettable tour guide. Please join me in this journey of discovery of Jonathan (Elijah Wood) as he searches for his family’s history in the Ukraine. Baba Joon Joel Dinkin, the J’s Executive Vice President, challenged me on more than one occasion to “offer some comedies.” I think Joel and our many viewers will enjoy some lighter fare: Very Semi Serious, Serial Bad Weddings, and our closing film, Dough. The icing on the comedy cake is one of my personal favorites, the Marx Brothers’ A Night at the Opera. I encourage you to get reacquainted with the Marx Brothers and to bring someone who is unfamiliar with them. This 80 year plus classic is a comedy they will not forget. Thanks to the members of the film committee (see page 17) a tireless group of knowledgeable cinemaphiles including Festival Founders Doreen Joffe and Sharon Kagan plus former chairs Sue Goott, Diane Lee Kraitman and Helen Wils. My special appreciation goes to Miriam Pacht, Joyce Cramer and A Night at the Opera Nada Chandler for pre-screening more films than you can imagine. Finally, I would also like to personally thank the Amazing Amy Rahmani, Arts & Culture Program Coordinator, who makes it all happen. Finally the Festival would not be possible without the financial support of our Patrons of the Arts, underwriters, community and corporate sponsors. We appreciate your commitment and dedication to the Festival. I look forward to seeing you again and again at the Festival.

The Partnership works to make Houston greater by promoting economic development, foreign trade and investment, and by advocating for efficient and effective government that supports, rather than impedes, business growth. The Partnership also convenes key stakeholders to solve the region’s most pressing issues. The Partnership was formed in 1989 in a merger of the Greater Houston Chamber of Commerce, the Houston Economic Development Council and the Houston World Trade Association. Today, the Partnership serves the 11-county greater Houston region and represents a member roster of more than 1,000 businesses and institutions.
