The sixth annual Kansas City Jewish Film Festival — dubbed “From Nintendo to Nazis” — will run Saturday through March 27 and feature a diverse lineup of first-run features, foreign films and documentaries with a Jewish theme.

Sponsored by the Kansas City Jewish Community Center and The Kansas City Jewish Chronicle, the festival has secured a reputation for bringing in a unique array of films that have never before been seen in greater Kansas City.

Highlights of this year’s festival include “Bit by Bit,” a Swedish comedy about a Jewish slacker who qualifies for the international Nintendo championship, and “Epstein’s Night,” a German drama about a Holocaust survivor who murders a local priest, believing the priest to have been an SS officer who tortured him years before. “Only in America” examines the significance of Joseph Lieberman’s presidential and vice-presidential campaigns for American Jewry.

The Jewish Film Festival also features five Israeli films, including two about transgressive love affairs. “A Trumpet in the Wadi,” whose main characters are a Christian Arab and a Jewish immigrant, won the 2002 Israeli “academy award” for Best Picture. “Yossi & Jagger” is about two Israeli army officers in love.
