“I can’t thank this community enough for supporting the Virginia Festival of Jewish Film, presented by Alma* and Howard Laderberg,” said William Laderberg at the closing night of the film festival on Sunday, Jan. 25. “Thanks to them, their outpouring of support and their attendance at the films, I believe this was the most successful film festival in 22 years.“
More than 1,400 people viewed one or more of the varied and eclectic films presented at this year’s festival. At the various films and venues, the audience heard from film directors, attended receptions and watched movies from all over the world.
