LA Jewish fest films "aren't just selected, they're chosen!"

The Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival will screen Lynn Roth's "The Little Traitor" in celebration of the founding of Israel. Set in 1947 before Israel becomes an independent state, the film stars Alfred Molina, Ido Port, and Theodore Bikel, who will also be honored with an award on opening night.
Fest will also unspool Rachel Talbot's doc "Making Trouble," about six successful Jewish women comediennes - Molly Picon, Fanny Brice, Sophie Tucker, Joan Rivers, Gilda Radner, and Wendy Wasserstein. Rivers will honored with the Marlene Adler Marks MorningStar Award before the screening.

Michael Jones is the film festival editor at Variety.com.
