Screening of I AM NOT | Maine Jewish Film Festival

Free and open to the public. Tickets not required. Seating is limited

This emotional and, at times, funny film follows Oren, a bright neurodivergent Israeli teen on a journey of self-discovery. Desperate for love but recoiling from human touch, Oren rejects the affection of his adoptive parents. When a family trip to Central America brings him face to face with the woman who brought him into the world, he finds answers to unasked questions and insight into an identity never fully acknowledged or understood. Named Best Foreign Film at the DOCUTAH International Film Festival.

Lesley Levy, Director of Student Accessibility at Bowdoin College, will host the post-film conversation.

Hosted by the Cinema Studies Program in partnership with the Maine Jewish Film Festival. Sponsored by the Blythe Bickel Edwards Fund and the Office of Inclusion and Diversity.
