IFF - Felix and Meira

Felix and Meira
(Quebec, Maxime Giroux, 2014, 105 mins)
Meira, a young wife and mother, longs to experience life outside the strict confines of her Orthodox Jewish community. Felix, who lives in the same Montreal neighborhood, feels lost after the death of his wealthy father, from whom he was estranged. The two find comfort in their unexpected friendship, but are faced with the challenge of coming from vastly different worlds.

Compelling, poignant, sometimes funny stories, both true and fiction, from around the world are screened at the International Film Festival in Trenton, New Jersey. Experience some of the most exquisitely beautiful and thought-provoking film that we screen! In 2015, a theme of cross-cultural encounters or collisions runs through many of the films, from IN THE CROSSWIND, an Estonian film which chronicles mass deportation under the Soviet's to the sometimes poignant, sometimes comic interaction between Australian caucasion and aboriginal culture in CHARLIE'S COUNTRY.
