Ths Shpiel on the 2026 Hamilton Jewish Film Festival 

Host Wendy Schneider joins special guest Helaine Ortmann for a lively conversation about the four films featured at the 2026 Hamilton Jewish Film Festival. Though varied in tone and setting, each film is bound by the enduring themes of hope, courage and resilience — and by a deeply moving exploration of family love in all its complexity: parents and children, brothers and sisters, fracture and forgiveness. Together, they form a richly textured portrait of the ties that bind.
