"A Matter of Size", "Anita" Rock the LA Jewish Film Festival!!


Sharon Maymon and Erez Tadmor, directors of A Matter of Size, pose with two American Sumo wrestlers on the red carpet at the 2010 Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival!

A Matter of Size was the Opening Night film for this year's festival, and was preceded by a gala event at the Writers Guild Theater. The directors stayed after the film for a Q&A moderdated by Rob Eshman, editor of the Jewish Journal.

Also playing at the LAJFF was Anita, from Argentinian director Marcos Carnevale. This incredible film, also released by Menemsha, was honored with the Audience Award for Best Drama!

Anita is the story of a young woman with Down syndrome who gets lost in Buenos Aires after the 1994 bomb attack on the AMIA Jewish Community Center. The film is by renowned filmmaker Marcos Carnevale, director of Elsa and Fred, and stars Academy Award Nominee Norma Aleandro, the "Meryl Streep" of Argentina.

A Matter of Size is now playing in Boston theaters, and is coming soon to Washington, D.C!
Anita is currently playing at film festivals all over the country!
