Potential FILMTalks 2012 Features:

Circus Kids and David

Circus Kids

Could the road to Middle East peace be paved by a cross-cultural circus, with kids from St. Louis performing alongside Jewish and Arab children from the Galilee? Overcoming differences and language barriers, circus kids defy gravity and prove that lively acrobatics is what real peace might look like. Rated G: Appropriate for All Ages

David

In New York City, cultures are bound to collide. That is certainly the case for Daud, the young son of a Brooklyn imam. While returning a lost book, Daud finds himself befriending a group of Orthodox Jewish boys who mistake him for a new classmate. Youthful deceit and good intentions lead to humorous and tender results as "David" experiences the joy of camaraderie. Winner of the Audience Choice Award for Best Narrative Feature at the 2011 Brooklyn International Film Festival and Montreal World Film Festival Ecumenical Prize.
