Exhibit 1 J Revised Project Description
Organization:
Center for the Advancement
of Jewish Education
Project title:
7th Annual
Miami Jewish Film Festival
Completely describe Project approved by the Grants Panel and in a separate narrative detail the
revisions to the Project based upon the award. Please be as specific as possible; name of event,
venue, times, etc. Miami Beach Anchors should list specifics about their mentoring program.
The seventh Annual Miami Jewish Film Festival will present 20.30 international films, documentaries and dramas;
including many prize winners, and Miami premieres. All screenings include audience dialogue with the film director,
producer or actor, and/or educational programming. Special events include Centerfold Gala along with the
presentation of the CAJE Community Arts Award; a film series which focuses on the arts at the Wolfsonian Museum
(in honor of Art Basel); and a Closing Night Sing-a-Iong. TIME FRAME: December 6-14, 2003. Films will be
screened primarily in the evening, and all day on Sundays. LOCATION: Films will be screened on Miami Beach at the
Wolfsonian Museum. Other locations include the Sunrise Intracoastal Theater and the Cosford Theater on the
University of Miami campus. PARTICIPANTS: The Festival is only possible because of a unique partnership between
lay and professional leadership. Our new Festival Director is Ellen Wedner. She is assisted by a Public Relations
professional. The festival coordinator for CAJE is Roberta Shevin. MJFF Committee Chair is Linda Green (Miami
Beach resident); co chairs: Joy Spill (Miami Beach resident) and Mimi Klimberg. Approximately 40 committee
members work on hospitality, ushering, marketing, ticket sales, etc. Numerous film artists come to introduce their
films, and we partner with a variety of local consulates, organizations and arts groups.
The Festival celebrates the medium of film and its artists. Entries are evaluated for cinematography, direction, editing,
sound, acting, music and wriling so that the films programmed are of the highest quality. Many of the films have won
international prizes, and all are Miami premiers. In addition to the feature films, the Festival shows a broad selection
of documentaries that facilitate cultural exchange. In addition, many of those produced in Europe include rare and
archival footage which otherwise would be unavailable for our audiences to view. Perhaps the most important artistic
element is the presence of the many filmmakers, producers and actors who accompany their films.
Now in its seventh year, the Miami Jewish Film Festival is recognized as a significant player in the cultural calendar
of our community. Our local audience members wait in anticipation for the week of excellent films and the
opportunity to meet and dialogue with international filmmakers. South Florida is lacking in the type of theaters that
screen art films for adults. Film Festivals, such as ours, make up for that deficit. Audiences are introduced to film
makers from around the world and through the choice of films and the Festival reaches out to diverse cultures within
the county who come together and share a community building experience through film. Our association with Art
Basel is mutually beneficial, and enhances the Festival's image.
Due to the difficulties of finding sponsors in this economy and the large reduction in state grant funding, we are
eliminating our STUDENT DAY this year. The other area that might be impacted is the number of filmmakers we can
fly in this year. Most of them are from outside of the US and the tickets are quite costly (we have the hotel space
donated). The number of films and our venues, however, has expanded, and the festival will still represent a
significant step forward both in quality and quantity.
