After three years of disruption (and creative adaptation), the Pioneer Valley Jewish Film Festival is officially back in person in 2023! A world-class showcase of the best in foreign and independent cinema, PVJFF welcomes everyone to engage with Jewish culture and conversation. Please join us for our screening of the film March 1968 at the Northampton Center for the Arts.
Hania and Janek, a pair of rebellious college students blinded by love, find themselves swept up in the raging socio-political crisis of 1960s communist Poland. Although initially apathetic, the young couple find that the growing government censorship and antisemitic purges cannot be ignored. This handsomely crafted historical drama depicts the inexorable convergence of a whirlwind romance, a battle for national identity, and political awakening. Introduction by Justin Cammy, Professor of Jewish Studies and of World Literatures, Smith College.
