VJFC: Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas
Dec 31 @ 12:30 pm – 2:30 pm

Set in a Chinese Restaurant, Dreaming of a Jewish Christmas presents an offbeat, irreverent musical documentary.  An amazing tale of Jewish immigrant outsiders who became irreplaceable players in pop culture’s mainstream – a generation of songwriters who found in Christmas the perfect holiday in which to imagine a better world, and for at least one day a year, make us believe in it. 

Featuring the songs of Jewish songwriters, Irving Berlin, Mel Torme, Jay Livingston, Ray Evans, Gloria Shayne Baker and Johnny Marks. 

Winner: Best Direction in a  Documentary, Canadian Screen Awards
