Sacramento Jewish Film Festival
This is a film festival that takes place annually at the Crest. It is now in its 10th year. The two co founders are Margi Park-Landau and Sid Heberger, the manager of the Crest. Park-Landau wanted to create a place closer to Sacramento where Jewish films could be shown. All the films shown at the film festival relate to the Jewish experience in one way or another. Guest speakers, live music, and a nosh are all part of this two day event. Of note, West Bank Story, the Academy Award winner for best short film premiered at the Sacramento Jewish Film Festival .

Don: Its what?
Pawnbroker: Its Yom Kippur, a Jewish holiday.
