The Jewish Experience, on Film

This year's annual Jewish Film Festival at Jacob Burns is the biggest yet, with 29 programs by and about Jews around the globe. The featured films include Lost Islands (right), a smash in Israel about the coming-of-age of two brothers; Holy Land Hardball, about the first professional baseball league in Israel; and As Seen Through These Eyes, which looks at the art produced by Holocaust camp prisoners. In addition to the movies, the festival includes a number of fascinating panel discussions with the makers and subjects of various films. The festival runs through April 2. Jacob Burns Film Center
