CONGRATULATIONS TO PJFF CINEMONDAYS  
AUDIENCE AWARD WINNER
CLOSED SEASON  

Receiving an average rating of 4.7 out of 5, CLOSED SEASON has won PJFF's Audience Award  
this spring! Thanks to everyone who voted!
The Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival was honored to screen CLOSED SEASON on Holocaust Remembrance Day. Having film scholar and author Annette Insdorf moderate a discussion with Gwendolyn Bellman, the film's screenwriter, was a wonderful treat for audience members and a memorable way to close our 33rd Season.
 

"For me the evening was a wonderful experience. Every part of it. The wonderful dinner, to see the audience react to the film and the discussion afterwards. I feel enormously grateful and honored to have been there on that day."

-- Gwendolyn Bellman
