7th Annual Vinnik Evening of Jewish Culture

November 4, 2025

The Center for Judaic Studies was back at the Denver Film Festival on November 4 for the 7th Annual Vinnik Evening of Jewish Culture. We want to thank Jonathan and Stephen Vinnik for their support of this important program in memory of their parents, Sandy and Irwin Vinnik.

Show / Hide Content Below

This year's Vinnik Evening featured a festival screening of veteran filmmaker Agnieszka Holland's Franz, a kaleidoscopic biopic of iconic Czech writer Franz Kafka and Poland's entry for the 2025 Academy Awards. The audience at the sold-out event was treated to a special introduction by Israeli author and filmmaker Etgar Keret. Keret, who has been hailed 'Israel's Kafka,' spoke before the screening of Kafka's influence on his writing and gave an unexpected reading of a Kafka-inspired short story before the film.
