The UK Jewish Film Festival drew to a close this week, with the screening of Hello Goodbye and the presentation of The Shoresh Charitable Prize.
Israeli comedy A Matter of Size together with documentary film ‘Praying with Lior’ have won the award, which was voted by the festival audiences.
Judy Ironside, Festival Director, said: “As this has been our strongest programme so far, the choice this year was very tough. However, we thought that A Matter of Size, together with Praying with Lior, were particularly special when we programmed them and I am very happy that our audiences agreed with us and decided to give it their vote.”
The festival, this year celebrating its ‘Barmitzvah’ year, featured a record-breaking 65 films at 14 venues, including a special preview of A Serious Man.
