This year is the 10th anniversary of the Michiana Jewish Film Festival and we planned for it accordingly. Many hours of hard work were poured into creating a spectacular festival that we could all be proud of. We could not have known about the situation in which we currently find ourselves. Only weeks after our final roster of films was carefully selected by our wonderful film festival committee, we have had to make a very difficult decision. Along with the staff at DeBartolo Performing Arts Center at Notre Dame, we've decided to cancel the physical portion of the festival, which was to take place at DeBartolo.
Our community's health and safety must be placed above all other considerations and there are too many unknowns at this time to continue to plan the festival at its original venue.
However, as they say in show business,
"The show must go on."
For this reason, we are delighted to inform you that the festival will still take place, in a modified virtual format, during the week of May 11th, as previously scheduled. We are currently working with our partners to adjust our program, and will share more information in the coming weeks.
