🎬 Monday, August 11 | BJFF 2025 Spotlight 🎬
🗓️ 4 PM – Pink Lady
A gripping Israeli drama about an ultra‑Orthodox couple thrown into crisis when a blackmailer threatens to expose the husband’s sexuality. Pink Lady explores faith, secrecy, and the pressures of community in a story that’s both intimate and intense.
🕗 8 PM – Bad Shabbos
Get ready for laughs—Bad Shabbos is a farcical comedy about an interfaith Shabbat dinner gone spectacularly wrong after an accidental death. Expect chaos, cultural clash, and a confused Kyra Sedgwick as the overwhelmed Jewish mom!
