Teaneck Film Festival
United States
Приєднався 21 жов 2011
Like so many other events in Teaneck, the idea of a film festival emerged in Spring 2005 out of discussions among ordinary citizens. With the support of the nonprofit organization Puffin Foundation, a small group of dedicated volunteers set out to create an event that would present a collection of compelling and imaginative feature-length films, documentaries and shorts -- from a variety of cultures; foster cross-cultural connections; honor talented young Bergen County filmmakers; and encourage filmgoers to rediscover Teaneck's appeal as a shopping and dining destination.
Presently, the film festival draws over 3,000 filmgoers each year and has expanded its venues throughout the Teaneck area. The film festival has developed a niche in the film festival circuit by establishing Activism/Making Change as a permanent theme.

Sabbath Queen Talkback - Teaneck International Film Festival 2024
"Sabbath Queen," a feature documentary filmed over 21 years, follows Rabbi Amichai Lau-Lavie's epic journey as the dynastic heir of 38 generations of Orthodox rabbis, including the Chief Rabbis of Israel. He is torn between rejecting and embracing his destiny and becoming a drag-queen rebel, a queer bio-dad, and the founder of Lab/Shul-an everybody-friendly, God-optional, artist-driven, pop-up experimental congregation.

Wonderful film🙌🏻🙌🏻🌹🌹
✋ Promo`SM
A MUST see phenomenal film and talk back. Thank you for the honor of having me involved.
Some of these women had 7 o 8 kids yet no husband. Did any of these men pay support or provide a home and security. If u can't take care of ur kids then keep ur legs closed
Why attack Ceasars, what di they do wrong? Nothing, they didn't get pregnant out of wedlock, they didn't deny aid. Shameful
Powerful. Thank you for unpacking and opening all this up for everyone's knowledge benefit, with Molly's very articulate agency. This is very educational for me.
This was a fabulous panel share. Thank you for jumping into the heart of the matter…the right to know and be oneself and to be supported for who one actually is and knows themselves to be…in, and, of and through. Thank you for legal background for New Jersey and the treat of having Molly share her expertise both of the broader picture and the genuine care and love of her children and advocating in such an articulate and inspirational way.
Very Inspirational Dr Anne Innis Dagg! the worldwide expert in Giraffe for so long, more than 60 years in 1957 alone in Africa studying Giraffe!
