Baruch Hashem, we have come a long way from being “The Film They Wouldn’t Screen” in December 2008.
We are delighted to announce historic news:
The Jerusalem Cinemateque (sponsor of the Jerusalem Jewish Film Festival) has made the courageous and groundbreaking decision to join the Tel Aviv Cinemateque in showing “A Light for Greytowers” — the first time a women-only film has ever screened in either Cinemateque, creating a new precedent in Israel and building a bridge, through art, between people from diverse Jewish backgrounds.
Director Robin Saex Garbose along with several of the film’s actresses plan to attend. The film will be playing in other venues in Israel over Chanukah as well. Stay tuned for more details!

My 12 yr old daughter and I had the tremendous pleasure of seeing “A Light for Greytowers” last night in Tsfat, followed by a Q & A with director Robin Garbose. We loved it! It was inspiriational in every way – a great story with elements of conflict and victory fueled by Torah values, a showcase of amazing talent from deep within the Torah observant community, and proof that modern technology (film-making) techniques can be utilised to bring the Torah to life. The film is empowering for (not only Jewish) women and young girls as an example of how we can express our talents and energy within a modest and wholesome venue.
Kol hakavod, Robin!
