About Young Professionals' Night (YP Night)
Every year at the Atlanta Jewish Film Festival, American Jewish Committee's (AJC) young professional group, ACCESS, presents a film at the annual festival. The evening brings in community partners from the Metro Atlanta Area to indulge in food, drinks, and conversation during a pre-show event. The night will continue at the newly reopened Tara Theatre with a youthful film of both AJC ACCESS and AJFF's choosing.
About the Film
Meet Viv, a once-promising singer whose dreams hit a sour note at 30, leading her back to her mother's basement. In this musical comedy, a blend of Shiva Baby and The Jazz Singer, Viv, a self-proclaimed 'bad Jew,' reluctantly becomes a Cantor at her family's synagogue. Set against the vibrant backdrop of Toronto, the story unfolds with a mix of illicit affairs, drug trips, tense family drama, and seriously catchy Jewish tunes. Join Viv on a hilarious journey of self-discovery and modern Jewish life in this delightful creation by writers Shaina Silver-Baird and Michael Goldlist.
