SUMMARY:"Make A Circle" Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:A film by Jen Bradwell and Todd Boekelheide. Presented by Pozez JCC’s ECLC and the NVAEYC\, an affiliate of the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC). \n\n\n\n6:30pm: Doors open7:00pm: Film ScreeningDuring NAEYC’s Week of the Young Child\, April 5-11\, 2025\, NVAEYC and Pozez JCC’s ECLC will co-sponsor MAKE A CIRCLE\, a film that confronts a broken child care system where\, “Parents can’t afford to pay\, and teachers can’t afford to stay.” \n\n\n\nThe film captures the unfolding stories of Patricia\, a leader of a new childcare union\, as she advocates on behalf of a largely immigrant workforce. Charlotte\, who tirelessly lifts up the low-income families in her care; and Anne\, the director of a large preschool\, who finds novel ways to support her teachers when jobs at McDonald’s are offering higher pay. \n\n\n\nWeaving together the magic they create in the classroom\, the struggles they endure at home\, and their tireless activism for their profession\, MAKE A CIRCLE is a moving portrait of life as an Early Childhood Educator and a promising blueprint for change.

SUMMARY:JxJ Presents: Bad Shabbos
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Robbins’ entertaining\, fast-paced comedy about a Sabbath dinner gone terribly awry won the top audience prize at the Tribeca Festival. While this dysfunctional Jewish family tries to balance the polarities of secular and religious lives\, along with the dilemma of a dead body in the bathroom\, Robbins and his longtime co-writer Zack Weiner up the comedy ante by stirring in an inter-faith culture clash and an overly intrepid doorman. \n\n\n\nAbout JxJ: Presented by the Edlavitch DCJCC\, JxJ encompasses the Washington Jewish Film and Music Festivals\, alongside a year-round film and music program. JxJ gives exposure to independent filmmakers and musical artists working in the Jewish and/or Israeli space. Each spring\, the annual Festival is held on stages and screens throughout DC\, Virginia\, and Maryland. \n\n\n\nThe Pozez JCC is proud to bring these cultural films to Northern Virginia through its partnership with Edlavitch DCJCC.

SUMMARY:JxJ Presents: Mazel Tov
DESCRIPTION:From acclaimed Argentinean actor and director Adrián Suar comes a heartfelt\, humorously touching tale of family\, forgiveness\, and the ties that bring us back home. When Dario Roitman returns from the U.S. to Argentina for a family wedding and Bat Mitzvah\, he anticipates the usual family drama. But his carefully laid plans for a family reunion are suddenly upended when he learns\, just hours before his flight\, that his father has passed away. As the Roitmans gather for the funeral\, old wounds resurface\, and longstanding tensions reach a boiling point. \n\n\n\nDespite the emotional turmoil\, Dario remains determined to celebrate both the wedding and Bat Mitzvah\, even if it means challenging tradition and risking further discord. Navigating grief\, sibling rivalry\, and delightfully eccentric grudges\, the Roitmans reveal the messy yet enduring love of family. \n\n\n\nThis program is proudly sponsored by the Embassy of Argentina. \n\n\n\nAbout JxJ: Presented by the Edlavitch DCJCC\, JxJ encompasses the Washington Jewish Film and Music Festivals\, alongside a year-round film and music program.
