Title: Untitled Jewish Film
Storyline: This emotionally charged short film unfolds over a single Shabbat dinner and explores themes of tradition, queerness, identity, and generational conflict.
Set within a Jewish family home, the story follows the interpersonal tensions that surface as family members gather for what should be a sacred and unifying ritual.
At the centre of the dinner table are complex characters: a sarcastic and sharp-witted daughter, an anxious mother clinging to cultural rituals, a dramatic grandmother struggling with acceptance, and a well-meaning outsider attempting to assimilate.
These dynamics reveal the family’s deep love and discomfort, as they navigate clashes between identity and inherited values.
This is an exciting opportunity to perform in a layered and relevant short film being produced as a final project by an Advanced Diploma film student.
The film embraces diverse cultural identities and offers rich character work, all with professional catering, festival ambition, and creative integrity.
