Lights, Camera, Ventura
While some Jewish film festivals around the country often use older films or films playing at nearby theaters, the Ventura County Jewish Film Festival will show five new films never seen in Ventura County — as well as host their stars.
The festival starts on March 10 at 7 p.m. with the opening night film, \”The Aryan Couple.\” In the World War II thriller based on a true story, Oscar winner Martin Landau plays a Hungarian businessman who is forced to make a terrible pact with Himmler and Eichmann so he and his family can escape certain death. Landau and director-producer John Daly (\”The Last Emperor\”) will have a Q & A after the screening.
