MJFF 2024 award-winning film, The Boy in the Woods

The Festival may be just around the corner, but we still have a series of special surprises lined up just for you! We’re excited to announce that in two weeks, on Monday, January 6 at 7pm at the O Cinema South Beach, we’ll be hosting a free community event featuring the encore presentation of MJFF 2024 award-winning film, The Boy in the Woods, one of the most inspiring films of the year.

The evening will be made even more special with the attendance of the film’s subject and producer, Maxwell Smart, who will introduce the film and participate in an extended conversation afterward. Join us for this powerful story about faith, family, and resilience, proving love can grow and take hold in even the darkest of places.

The special event is free and open to the community, featuring an introduction and an extended Q&A with the film’s subject and producer, Maxwell Smart. The discussion will be moderated by Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff, Director of the Holocaust Teacher’s Institute, and Dr. Nikki Freeman, Education Director at the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach.

This event is part of the Screening the Holocaust series, an annual program presented in collaboration with the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (Claims Conference), the Holocaust Memorial Miami Beach, the Holocaust Teacher’s Institute, and The University of Miami’s Sue and Leonard Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies.
