Describe the Organization's Program Activity:
Part 3
WE PROGRAM FILMS THAT ADDRESS IMPORTANT UNIVERSAL THEMES DEPICTED THROUGH A LENS OF JEWISH EXPERIENCE. THROUGH SURVEYS WE KNOW THAT ONLY ABOUT HALF OF OUR AUDIENCE IDENTIFIES AS JEWISH. THE UN-POLEMIC NATURE OF THE FILM EXPERIENCE PROVIDES A SAFE AND ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO CHALLENGE PRECONCEPTIONS AND OPEN MINDS. WE ROUTINELY SET ASIDE BLOCKS OF TICKETS FOR STUDENTS, EDUCATORS. IN 2022 AND EARLY 2023 VIRTUALLY ALL OF OUR LIVE PROGRAMS WERE SHOWN FOR FREE. OVER THAT TIME, WE PARTNERED WITH THE PORTLAND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA, PORTLAND MUSEUM OF ART, THE MAINE JEWISH MUSEUM, THE JEWISH COMMUNITY ALLIANCE OF SOUTHERN MAINE, THE PARSONAGE GALLERY (BELFAST, MAINE), MAINE FILM CENTER, MAINE JEWISH MUSEUM, BATES AND BOWDOIN COLLEGES, AND THE HOLOCAUST AND HUMAN RIGHTS CENTER (HHRC). WE INTRODUCED THE HHRC TO A FILM WE THOUGHT THEY WOULD WANT USE IN CLASSROOM SETTING AND WORKED WITH THE DISTRIBUTOR TO FACILITATE THE ACQUISITION.
