November 11th, 2018: Free film screening November 18th

Arriving for the opening ceremony of The Queens World Film Festival held at the Museum for the Moving Image located in Queen – of course.
NYC Council Member Jimmy Van Bramer made a speech. I got myself smack in the middle despite my fears.
The 4 Jewish themed films that were part of the festival were shown at a Church. Only in New York would this happen. Peter McWhinney played guitar while the audience arrived.

My cousin flew all the way out to be with me at my first film festival. Stayed at The Viceroy. We were given the Monarch suite which we did not book. It is the most expensive room in the hotel. When we questioned the front desk the answer was, “do you believe in Karma.” We do!
The audience at the screening. It was a packed house!
