The guide to the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival opens with a welcome letter, which begins with a question: “What is a Jewish film?”

That letter is co-signed by the AJFF’s board president and executive director Max Leventhal and Kenny Blank, as well as festival chair Brennan Dicker.

“There is no one definitive answer,” Levinthal tells “City Lights” host Lois Reitzes, “and that’s the beauty of the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival. That everyone brings their own perspective to that.”
