The 30th Anniversary of the St. Louis Jewish Film Festival kicks off looking into the future! If Jews were part of a human colony on Mars, which has longer days and longer years, how would they keep the High Holidays in sync with their Earthbound Jewish brethren? How do Jewish astronauts observe the Sabbath in space? Who are some of the famous Jews who helped in the space race and journeyed into the heavens? This documentary will answer questions you didn't even know to ask! It's a retrospective and future-thinking film about Judaism that knows no bounds!

3:45 pm: Names Not Numbers

Director: Michael Puro
Documentary: 54 minutes

Guided by local journalists, Ellen Futterman (Editor-in-Chief, St. Louis Jewish Light) and Shula Neuman (former Executive Editor at St. Louis Public Radio), a group of students from Epstein Hebrew Academy takes on what seems like a simple project: interviewing Holocaust Survivors in this 2024 documentary film Names, Not Numbers . But as they listen to firsthand stories of resilience and survival, the project becomes something more – something deeply personal and transforming.
