2011 Spring Jewish Film Festival - JCC Central NJ

Into their sweetly sedate domestic life, the outside world intrudes with
unexpected fury. As Anita wanders the city lost, she finds compassion in unlikely quarters through the simple force of
her ingenuous personality and open heart. Wrenching, lovely, suffused with life, Anita is a profoundly hopeful study of
human innocence, compassion and resilience in a fragile, troubled world.  Ticket pricing for this event is $12 JCC Members/Seniors 65+/Students, $14 General Public, $ 6 12 years and under.  Day of movie $15, if still available.  To purchase tickets, please visit www.jccnj.org or call Film Festival Hotline (908) 889-8800 x208.  For more information, please contact Amy Warsh at 908-889-8800 x205 or awarsh@jccnj.org.  All are welcome.
