Can Muslims and Jews ever be Friends (Again)?

The Toronto premiere screening of DAVID, a story of a young Muslim boy who is mistaken as a Jew by the Jewish community of Brooklyn. The film has recently won the Ecumenical Prize at the Montreal Film Festival 2011, and - as you read this - is in competition at the Rome Film Festival. Variety Magazine says “…quietly engaging indie David brings charm, sympathy and understatement … many small virtues add up to a winning whole”. Executive director Stephanie Levy will be in attendance. The film will be followed by a discussion panel with Muslim and Jewish thinkers on the topic.

Wednesday, 2 November, 7 PM, Innis Town Hall (discussion panel at 9 PM)

Saturday, 5 November, 1 PM, Carlton Cinema

Two other movies in this Section are PLAYOFF and KADDISH FOR A FRIEND , both are playing on the weekend (5 & 6 November). Check website for more details.
