SUMMARY:Film Festival Special Preview Event & Screening of Sugihara: Conspiracy of Kindness
DESCRIPTION:Preview the 2026 Season Experience with a Film Screening\, Filmmaker Q&A\, & Guest Performance\nExperience an evening of powerful storytelling\, community\, and Jewish and Japanese culture during this year’s St. Louis Jewish Film Festival Preview Event. \nTake in an energetic pre-film performance by St. Louis Osuwa Taiko\, be moved by the heroic acts of a Japanese diplomat during the Holocaust in a screening of the documentary film Sugihara: Conspiracy of Kindness\, and engage with diane estelle Vicari\, award‑winning filmmaker of Sugihara\, during a live Q&A. \n\nFilm: Sugihara: Conspiracy of Kindness\n2000\, NR\nUSA\, English\nRobert Kirk\, diane estelle Vicari\nDocumentary: 90 minutes  \na powerful documentary that reminds us how one person’s courage can change the course of history \nIn the dark early days of World War II\, Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara made a choice that defied his government — and changed the course of thousands of lives.\n\nIn the fall of 1939\, as Hitler’s murderous wave swept across Eastern Europe\, Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara faced an impossible choice. Stationed in Lithuania as Japan’s Consul\, Sugihara was surrounded by desperate Jewish refugees whose only hope of escape lay in a transit visa he was expressly forbidden to issue. Acting against direct orders from Tokyo—and at enormous risk to his career and his family—Sugihara followed his conscience\, handwriting thousands of visas that enabled Jews to flee through Russia to Japan and onward to safety. Today\, it is estimated that more than 40\,000 people owe their lives to Sugihara’s extraordinary moral courage.\n\n\n\nTrailer\nhttps://jccstl.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/SUGIHARA-Conspiracy-of-Kindness-Trailer-SD1.mp4\n\n\n\nSpecial Pre-Show Performance by St. Louis Osuwa Taiko\nSt. Louis Osuwa Taiko delivers the traditional art of Japanese taiko—along with powerful modern pieces—through electrifying\, high‑energy performances that captivate audiences with rhythm\, movement\, and cultural artistry. Performing throughout the Midwest\, they bring a thunderous\, heart‑pounding experience you can feel in your chest\, making them a must‑see for anyone who loves immersive live art or Japanese culture. \n \n\nPost-Screening Q&A with Filmmaker diane estelle Vicari\n\n \nThe screening will be followed by a live Q&A with award-winning filmmaker diane estelle Vicari\, whose documentary brings Sugihara’s story vividly to life. A graduate of UCLA’s Program in Film and Television\, Vicari has built a distinguished career producing films that explore our shared humanity and global interconnectedness. Sugihara: Conspiracy of Kindness earned the prestigious Pare Lorentz/IDA Award\, and in 2021\, the California State Legislature officially designated Sugihara Visas Day\, honoring the diplomat’s legacy of compassion and rescue.\n\n\nVicari’s appearance is generously sponsored by Nancy and Ken Kranzberg and Shelly and Rick Mayhew. We invite you to join us for this meaningful evening of film\, conversation\, and reflection — a fitting prelude to a festival devoted to bearing witness\, choosing courage\, and celebrating the power of human kindness. \n\n\n\nTickets\nTickets for this special preview event are only $5/person!\n\nRESERVE TICKETS \n\n\nPartner Event\n \nJoin us January 17–April 4 at the Holocaust Museum for Special Exhibition “Resilience – A Sansei Sense of Legacy”\nThe Film Festival Special Preview Event: Sugihara coincides with the Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum’s new exhibition\, RESILIENCE: A Sansei Sense of Legacy\, on view January 17 – April 4\, 2026.\n\nIn 1942\, Executive Order 9066 forced the incarceration of Japanese Americans living on the West Coast. Told from the perspective of Sansei – third-generation Japanese Americans – Resilience features the work of eight artists whose families experienced this injustice and whose art reflects on its impact across generations. That impact was also felt here in St. Louis\, where many Japanese American families settled post incarceration.\n\nThis free exhibition is made possible through the Museum’s Partnership with the Japanese American Citizen’s League. \n\n\n31st ANNUAL ST. LOUIS JEWISH FILM FESTIVAL\nSunday\, March 15–Thursday\, March 26\, 2026\nNow in its 31st year\, the St. Louis Jewish Film Festival showcases outstanding films that illuminate Jewish life\, culture\, and identity. Screenings run Sunday\, March 15–Thursday\, March 26\, 2026\, at the B&B multiplex and at partner locations around St. Louis\, offering audiences a high-quality cinematic experience on both the Grand Screen and in smaller auditoriums. The St. Louis Jewish Film Festival is a program of the J – St. Louis.

SUMMARY:For The Living – A St. Louis Jewish Film Festival Event
DESCRIPTION:2024\, NR\nUSA\, English\nMarc Bennet\, Brett Kopin\, Tim Roper\, Lisa Efress\nDocumentary: 112 minutes \nThe 31st Annual St. Louis Jewish Film Festival opens with a powerful meditation on dehumanization — and the urgent need to restore our shared humanity. When 250 cyclists embark on a profound journey\, retracing the liberation route of a Holocaust survivor from Auschwitz-Birkenau to Kraków\, Poland\, their ride becomes more than an act of remembrance. It becomes a living response to hatred\, one that transforms memory into empathy and action at a time of rising global antisemitism. For The Living is an epic and deeply moving true story that challenges us to ask: When will we stop building monuments only for the dead and begin rehumanizing the living? When will we finally say “Never Again” — and truly mean it? \nJoin us afterward for a Q and A discussion featuring For The Living film producer\, Lisa Effress\, and Co Director/Writer\, Tim Roper. Reception to follow. \nTrailer\n \nB&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\nThis St. Louis Jewish Film Festival event is at B&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\, a newly remodeled luxury entertainment center featuring 10 auditoriums with laser projection\, digital audio\, and heated electric reclining seats for an elevated viewing experience.

SUMMARY:Nuremberg – A St. Louis Jewish Film Festival Event
DESCRIPTION:2025\, PG-13\nUSA\, English\nJames Vanderbilt\nFeature: 148 minutes \nPowerful\, gripping\, and intellectually provocative\, Nuremberg brings the world’s most infamous war crimes trial into sharp psychological focus. Starring Russell Crowe\, Rami Malek\, and Michael Shannon\, the film follows a U.S. Army psychiatrist tasked with evaluating Nazi leaders before they stand trial. As he becomes increasingly entangled with Hermann Göring\, the line between observer and participant begins to blur\, forcing him — and the audience — to confront unsettling questions about the nature of evil\, accountability\, and justice. Tense and morally complex\, Nuremberg asks whether true reckoning is possible when the perpetrators of history’s greatest crimes refuse to see themselves as monsters. \nTrailer\n \nB&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\nThis St. Louis Jewish Film Festival event is at B&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\, a newly remodeled luxury entertainment center featuring 10 auditoriums with laser projection\, digital audio\, and heated electric reclining seats for an elevated viewing experience.

SUMMARY:Elie Wiesel: Soul On Fire – A St. Louis Jewish Film Festival Event
DESCRIPTION:2024\, NR\nUSA\, English\nOren Rudavsky\nDocumentary: 87 minutes \n“Sometimes I’m afraid the tale might be forgotten. Sometimes I’m afraid it is forgotten already.”— Elie Wiesel\, Nobel Prize winning author of Night Eighty years after his liberation from Buchenwald\, Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire seeks to understand the man behind one of the most searing and widely read memoirs of the Holocaust. Told largely through Wiesel’s own words and unmistakable voice\, the film penetrates the heart of both the known and lesser-known Elie Wiesel (1928–2016) — his passions\, his doubts\, his moral conflicts\, and his lifelong insistence on bearing witness. Drawing on rare archival materials\, original interviews\, and striking hand-painted animation\, the film illuminates Wiesel’s journey as a survivor\, writer\, teacher\, and public conscience. More than a biography\, Elie Wiesel: Soul on Fire challenges each of us to consider what it truly means to bear witness — and whether we\, too\, would have the courage to endure\, to speak\, and to act in the face of injustice. \nTrailer\n \nJoin Us for a Special Q&A After the Show with Dr. Erin McGlothlin\, WashU Professor Holocaust Studies and German and Jewish Studies\nDr. Erin McGlothlin is the Gloria M. Goldstein Professor of Holocaust Studies and Professor of German and Jewish Studies at Washington University in St. Louis\, where she also serves as Vice Dean of Undergraduate Affairs. Her scholarship focuses on Holocaust literature and film\, German‑Jewish literature\, and the ethics and narrative structures of Holocaust representation. She is the author of Second‑Generation Holocaust Literature and The Mind of the Holocaust Perpetrator in Fiction and Nonfiction\, which received the 2023 Sybil Halpern Milton Book Prize. \nHer expertise enriches conversations about how the Holocaust is portrayed on screen\, making her an invaluable contributor to the St. Louis Jewish Film Festival. \nThis Q&A with Dr. McGlothlin is included with your event ticket. \nB&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\nThis St. Louis Jewish Film Festival event is at B&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\, a newly remodeled luxury entertainment center featuring 10 auditoriums with laser projection\, digital audio\, and heated electric reclining seats for an elevated viewing experience.

SUMMARY:Frontier – A St. Louis Jewish Film Festival Event
DESCRIPTION:2025\, MPA Rating: NR\nSpain\, Spanish with English subtitles\nJudith Colell\nFeature: 97 minutes \nSet in 1943\, Frontier tells the true story of a Spanish customs officer who quietly helps Jewish refugees escape Nazi-occupied France — one life at a time. As his solitary acts of defiance grow into an underground rescue effort\, he and his wife are forced to confront the lingering trauma of the Spanish Civil War and the very real danger posed by Nazi patrols along the border. Every choice carries risk\, and silence itself becomes a moral decision. Tense\, humane\, and deeply moving\, Frontier honors the courage of ordinary people who\, in a moment of history’s greatest darkness\, chose to act — knowing the cost\, and acting anyway. \nTrailer\n \nB&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\nThis St. Louis Jewish Film Festival event is at B&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\, a newly remodeled luxury entertainment center featuring 10 auditoriums with laser projection\, digital audio\, and heated electric reclining seats for an elevated viewing experience.

SUMMARY:The Tasters – A St. Louis Jewish Film Festival Event
DESCRIPTION:2025\, MPA Rating: NR\nItaly\, German with English subtitles\nSilvio Soldini\nFeature: 118 minutes \nInspired by a shocking true story\, The Tasters is a chilling portrait of survival inside Hitler’s inner circle. In the autumn of 1943\, Rosa\, a young woman fleeing bombed Berlin\, is forced into a terrifying role: along with other women from a remote village near the Wolf’s Lair\, she must taste the Führer’s meals each day — never knowing if the food is poisoned. Caught between starvation and the constant threat of death\, the women form fragile bonds marked by fear\, rivalry\, and desperate loyalty. Claustrophobic and quietly devastating\, The Tasters exposes the psychological toll of living under absolute terror\, where survival demands silence\, complicity\, and unbearable choices — and where even the most private emotions become acts of risk. \nTrailer\n \nB&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\nThis St. Louis Jewish Film Festival event is at B&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\, a newly remodeled luxury entertainment center featuring 10 auditoriums with laser projection\, digital audio\, and heated electric reclining seats for an elevated viewing experience.

SUMMARY:The Pianist's Choice – A St. Louis Jewish Film Festival Event
DESCRIPTION:2025\, MPA Rating: NR\nFrance\, French/German with English subtitles\nJacques Otmezguine\nFeature: 102 minutes \n“During the war\, music becomes the last hope.” Set in occupied France\, The Pianist’s Choice is a haunting wartime romance where art becomes both refuge and reckoning. François Touraine is a gifted young pianist whose life is forever changed by his relationship with Rachel\, his older Jewish piano teacher. When the Nazis take control of Paris\, love and music collide with terror\, forcing François into an impossible moral dilemma: whether to use his talent to perform for the occupiers in a desperate attempt to save the woman he loves. Tender\, tragic\, and deeply resonant\, The Pianist’s Choice explores the cost of survival when art is entangled with power — and asks what remains of music\, love\, and conscience after the war has passed. \nTrailer\n \nB&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\nThis St. Louis Jewish Film Festival event is at B&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\, a newly remodeled luxury entertainment center featuring 10 auditoriums with laser projection\, digital audio\, and heated electric reclining seats for an elevated viewing experience.

SUMMARY:The Ring – A St. Louis Jewish Film Festival Event
DESCRIPTION:2024\, MPA Rating: NR\nIsrael\, Hebrew with English subtitles\nAdir Miller\, Doron Paz\, Yoav Paz\nFeature: 117 minutes \nWhat begins as a simple\, almost casual discovery quickly becomes something far more profound. In this acclaimed Israeli drama (with humor!)\, a single object—a ring—unlocks a buried family story\, forcing its present-day owner to confront questions of memory\, inheritance\, and moral responsibility. Starring beloved Israeli actor Adir Miller\, The Ring moves fluidly between past and present\, exploring how the legacy of the Holocaust continues to shape lives generations later. As long-held truths surface\, the film asks what we owe to the past—and to each other—when history suddenly becomes personal. By turns poignant\, surprising\, and deeply human\, The Ring is a powerful reminder that history is never truly behind us. It lives in the objects we keep\, the stories we tell\, and the choices we make when we finally dare to look back. \nTrailer\n \nB&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\nThis St. Louis Jewish Film Festival event is at B&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\, a newly remodeled luxury entertainment center featuring 10 auditoriums with laser projection\, digital audio\, and heated electric reclining seats for an elevated viewing experience.

DESCRIPTION:2025\, MPA Rating: NR\nFrance\, French with English subtitles\nKen Scott\nFeature: 102 minutes \nBased on the beloved memoir by Roland Perez\, Once Upon My Mother is a joyful\, life-affirming true story about determination\, resilience\, and unconditional love.

SUMMARY:Love\, Statistically Speaking – A St. Louis Jewish Film Festival Event
DESCRIPTION:2025\, MPA Rating: NR\nIsrael\, Hebrew with English subtitles\nAmichai Greenberg\nFeature: 90 minutes \nWhen Reuben\, an 80-year-old actuary who believes life can be neatly measured and managed\, suddenly loses both his wife and her insurance money at the local swimming pool\, his carefully ordered world is thrown into chaos. Reluctantly teaming up with his free-spirited granddaughter\, Reuben launches a clumsy investigation that turns every eccentric pool regular into a prime suspect. What begins as a comic whodunit slowly becomes something deeper\, as suspicion gives way to connection and shared grief opens the door to an unexpected bond. Warm\, witty\, and quietly touching\, Love\, Statistically Speaking reminds us that while numbers can explain a lot\, the most important things — love\, family\, and second chances — will always defy calculation. \nTrailer\n \nB&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\nThis St. Louis Jewish Film Festival event is at B&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\, a newly remodeled luxury entertainment center featuring 10 auditoriums with laser projection\, digital audio\, and heated electric reclining seats for an elevated viewing experience.

SUMMARY:Eleanor The Great – A St. Louis Jewish Film Festival Event
DESCRIPTION:2025\, MPA Rating: PG-13\nUSA\, English\nScarlett Johansson\nFeature: 98 minutes \nThe perfect festival farewell\, Eleanor the Great marks Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut and showcases a magnificent performance by June Squibb as a woman discovering that it’s never too late to begin again. After a devastating loss\, Eleanor Morgenstein\, 94\, leaves Florida for New York City\, where a chance friendship with a young student pulls her back into the world — and into a story she tells that begins to take on a life of its own. As humor and grief intertwine\, Eleanor is forced to confront memory\, truth\, and the complicated ways we carry the past. Wry\, tender\, and laugh-out-loud funny\, Eleanor the Great is a deeply human film about friendship\, aging\, and survival — one that leaves you smiling\, misty-eyed\, and wonderfully unsure whether your tears come from laughter or recognition. \nTrailer\n \nB&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\nThis St. Louis Jewish Film Festival event is at B&B Theatres Creve Coeur West Olive 10\, a newly remodeled luxury entertainment center featuring 10 auditoriums with laser projection\, digital audio\, and heated electric reclining seats for an elevated viewing experience.

SUMMARY:NJT Presents "Prayer for the French Republic" by Josh Harmon
DESCRIPTION:Prayer for the French Republic\nReserve Tickets \nby Joshua Harmon April 16-May 3\, 2026 In 1944\, a Jewish couple in Paris desperately await news of their missing family. More than 70 years later\, the couple’s great-grandchildren find themselves facing the same question as their ancestors: “Are we safe?” Following five generations of a French-Jewish family\, Prayer for the French Republic is a sweeping look at history\, home and the effects of an ancient hatred. \n   \nReserveTickets  \n\nNJT (New Jewish Theatre)\, St. Louis’s premier small professional theatre\, is dedicated to the exploration of universal themes and issues and the examination of the full range of the human experience filtered through the lens of the Jewish experience. Through the medium of theater\, we build bridges of multicultural understanding\, tolerance\, communication\, and education. NJT productions are held in the Wool Studio Theater\, inside the Arts & Education Building of the J’s Staenberg Family Complex in Creve Coeur\, Missouri. NJT is a program of the J – St. Louis.
