is the story of a young woman caught
between her Holocaust-scarred parents'
desperate need for family regeneration
and her own awakening to taboo desires.
Filmmaker, Barbara Center,
is a 63 year old
Jewish lesbian
living in Toronto.
She has two
grown sons, one
of whom is gay.
Barbara has
always been
drawn to the
arts. Through her film, she expresses
her journey of rediscovering her
Jewish roots and coming out as
a lesbian. Some of her poetry and
art projects are featured in her
film Letters, which is screening at
the Toronto Jewish Film Festival
this year.
Letters,a poignant short film,
touches the heart as Barbara
shares what it means to be both
Jewish and gay.
Musician & artist, Justine Apple

environment in
Johannesburg,
South Africa. Both
her parents were
musicians. Justine
studied the piano as
a child, and later, in
her twenties, began
composing her own music influenced by
ABBA, New Age artists Yanni and Enya,
and American composer Philip Glass.
Justine is also a visual artist whose
abstract paintings, inspired by Kandinsky,
Chagall, and Miro, have been exhibited at
various galleries and outdoor exhibitions in
downtown Toronto.
Passages, her debut album, immediately
connects listeners with personal moments
of sorrow, contemplation, and empower-
ment. Copies will be available for purchase.
