JFilm Festival Brings Engaging Jewish Films to Pittsburgh
Film Pittsburgh's JFilm Festival, the largest Jewish cultural event in the region, will screen May 2-12 at three theaters around Pittsburgh. This is the 31st year for this highly anticipated event, which brings engaging independent Jewish-themed films to Pittsburgh. This year, JFilm will present 16 films, six of which will be available to screen virtually. "Independent films are so impactful in people's lives." said Kathryn Spitz Cohan, Film Pittsburgh's executive director. "Sometimes they feed your mind by showing you some incredible little-known history like in 999: The Forgotten Girls and other times they feed your heart by transporting you to another time like the visit to the great resorts of The Catskills. But one thing is for sure: independent films always add a richness to the human experience." JFilm will screen at the Carnegie Music Hall, the Oaks Theater, and CMU's McConomy Auditorium. The festival will include Q&As with visiting filmmakers, a Mother's Day screening with sweet bakery treats, scholar-led Film Schmooze discussions, and more. One highlight will be opening night's Pittsburgh premiere of Left Alone Rhapsody: The Musical Memoir of Pianist John Bayless at the newly restored Carnegie Music Hall in Oakland. The film, sponsored by The Arthur J. and Betty F. Diskin Cultural Endowment Fund of the Jewish Federation of Greater Pittsburgh, tells the inspiring story of Bayless, a Leonard Bernstein protégé and successful concert pianist and composer who suffered a debilitating stroke, and his heroic efforts to continue playing with his left hand alone. The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Bayless and director Stewart Schulman. John Bayless will also play several songs before a dessert reception in the Music Hall's Foyer. In other films to watch for, Spitz Cohan says, "We're excited for our audience to look back at some beloved pop culture icons in Remembering Gene Wilder and Shari & Lamb Chop. These lovely documentaries will have you revisiting happy memories with film and TV legends who were a big part of so many people's lives."

Capturing Memories: The Magic of a Photo Booth at Your Wedding
Are you looking for an impressive and fun way to make your wedding day even more memorable? Look no further than a photo booth! Photo booths have become a popular addition to weddings in recent years, and we can see why!

Whether they're striking a pose with silly props or capturing candid moments with loved ones, a photo booth is sure to keep everyone entertained. 2. Unique Keepsakes While professional wedding photographers and videographers are essential for capturing the big moments, a photo booth allows guests to take their own photos and create personalized keepsakes. From funny group shots to intimate couple portraits, the photos taken with the booth will be unique and special, providing a different perspective on your wedding day. Photo booths are also capable of taking videos, boomerangs and gifs! This opens another opportunity for creative captures. Add a second photo booth to your big day and place one booth near the dance floor to capture everyone's stellar dance moves through video or boomerangs! 3. Guest Book Alternative Instead of a traditional guest book, consider having a photo booth at your wedding for guests to leave a printed photo in a custom photo album with a personal message. This interactive guest book alternative not only captures the essence of your wedding day but also gives you a fun memento to look back on for years to come. 4. Social Media Sharing In today's digital age, sharing photos on social media is a common way to connect with friends and family.

From backdrops to props, you can tailor the experience to reflect your personalities as a couple. Guests will love dressing up, trying out different props, and creating truly memorable and fun photos.

Your template will also feature your first names, initials, last name and/or date! The possibilities are endless with personalizing your photo booth rental! Your wedding day is a celebration of love, joy, and memories that will last a lifetime. Capture those memories with a photo booth!
