We’re excited to announce a special encore presentation of MJFF 2023 Official Selection Barren on Sunday, August 27 at 7pm at the Michael-Ann Russell JCC as part of the Israeli Film Series free community program. In this powerful and compelling Israeli drama, which earned an MJFF Next Wave Prize and Haggiag Award nomination at the Jerusalem Film Festival, a childless ultra-Orthodox couple face a crisis when a man, introducing himself as a rabbi, exploits the woman’s desire for a child.
