Are you a fan of cinema? Do you enjoy your Netflix a bit too much? Love all those indies, documentaries, and foreign films as much as the Hollywood blockbusters? Are you the type to lose yourself in the plot of a movie?

If those touching moments on film make you verkelpmt, schlep on over to the Minneapolis Jewish Film Festival, which begins this Thursday, March 24th and runs through April 10th.
