Even though Jews make up less than .2 percent of the world’s population, the Jewish experience is complex and diverse. The 2nd Annual Chicago Jewish Film Festival aims to bring those diverse stories to local screens. Some are old, some are new. Some are documentaries, some are features. Some deal with religious themes, while others are purely cultural. David Chack is the festival’s artistic director, and he joins us to go over some of the titles he’s chosen for this year’s festival.(Photo/ChicagoJewishFilmFest)
