Exhibit 1 /Revised Project Description
Organization Name: Center for the Advancement of Jewish Education
Completely describe Project approved by the Grants Panel and in a separate narrative detail all revisions
to the Projecf based upon the City Commission approved award. Please be as specific as possible; name
of event, specific dates, venues, times, artists, etc. Use extra page if necessary.
Proiect description as approved by Grants Panel:
The l lth Annual Miami Jewish Film Festival is being planned for January 19-27, 2008. Our Opening
Night, Friday, January 19, 2008, will be at the Colony Theater on Lincoln Road. The international film
that has been chosen for Opening Night will be Brazil's entry for the Academy Award for Best Foreign
Film, and will be followed by a reception at the South Florida Arts Center on Lincoln Road. We have
requested space at the Regal South Beach Cinema on January 21- 24 for films in the afternoon and two
each evening. The Beach schedule will include matinees at 2:OOpm, and two films each evening, 6:OOpm
and 8:OOpm. In addition, we will present the Young Film Makers Institute teen films at 5:30pm at the
Regal on Thursday evening.
The Beach schedule targets several different audiences. For the matinee, we seek groups from various condo
communities. In 2007, our matinees were well attended. In addition, a recent demographic survey sponsored by the
GMJF indicates that there are a significant number of young professionals living on South Beach, who we will target
for late night films. We believe that there is great potential for increasing the young Beach residents in the MJFF.
Experience and our surveys indicate that the Beach also attracts foreign tourists because most of our films come from
Europe and South America. The backbone of the audience on the Beach are year round residents.
Proiect description as revised (if applicable) based upon the City Commission approved award:
Changes to projects awarded under the Artistic Disciplines program must still adhere to the requirement that the work
is new or has never before been presented in Miami Beach.
Project has not varied in scope since we received the full grant request. Changes are made based on
film availability and other variables.

CONTINUED -PROJECT DESCRIPTION AS APPROVED BY GRANT PANEL
The MJFF will continue to highlight the educational component of the Festival. In addition to our
collaboration with Books and Books, we will include at least two public forums utilizing local scholars and
senior educators from CAJE, to explore issues that the films raise. Educational materials will be distributed
at each film.
We plan to continue to invite filmmakers, actors, writers, etc. to accompany their films and dialogue with the
audience. This is what makes a Festival different than just attending a movie, and creates a unique
cinematic experience for the audience. Invitations will be going out in November. Currently, we are
scheduling films from France, Canada, Israel, Chile, Argentina, Mexico, Brazil and United Kingdom, in
addition to American made films.
Special events will include the fourth year of our YOUNG FILMMAKERS PROJECT. The South Beach
Regal is the venue for the presentation for these teens that were given a $500 stipend to fund their effort;
and mentoring and guidance by our Director, Ellen Wedner and other film professionals.. We plan to
expand the effort to fund 10 student films in 2008, and again host a free screening and reception on Miami
Beach that is free and open to the public on Thursday, at 5:30pm. Through a grant from the State of
Florida we will be hosting the director of the Buenos Aires Jewish Film Festival who will be bringing several
films from Argentina to screen in our Festival. We hope to have a reception at a Lincoln Road location to
celebrate this new component of the MJFF.
Ticket prices will remain the same: $10 adults, $8 for seniors and students and $7 for Film Society
members. Fast Passes are $95; $85 for Film Society members.
