CLOSING NIGHT: ETHAN BLOOM
Director(s): Herschel Faber
Narrative, 2025, US, 96 min, English
Massachusetts Premiere
Thirteen-year-old Ethan is supposed to be preparing for his bar mitzvah — but despite his Jewish family, Ethan is convinced his spiritual calling is with the Catholic church. Through the wisdom of an unconventional rabbi, the love of his complicated father, and his first romance with a cowboy-boot-wearing girl who can put him in a headlock, Ethan must confront his lies and grief to discover that faith isn’t about choosing sides, it’s about honoring all the messy, beautiful pieces of who we are.
SCREENING WITH: BESHERT
Director: Lewis Rose
Narrative, 2025, UK, 19 min
Boston Premiere
When a grumpy old man in a care home meets a reluctant Bar Mitzvah boy, it sparks an unlikely friendship that will change their lives forever.
Followed by a conversation with Ethan Bloom Director Herschel Faber and Lead Actor Hank Greenspan
Screening as part of the 38th Annual Boston Jewish Film Festival
In Theaters: November 4-15
