April Spotlight
Toyland
Directed by Jochen Alexander Freydank | 14 min
In April's Spotlight short film, a young boy cannot understand why his best friend’s family must go away, so his mom tells him they’re going to Toyland.
This sobering story from Germany screened at JFilm in 2009 and won the Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film that same year. If you're interested in more Jewish-themed stories, this year's JFilm Festival is right around the corner.
