Sheila Malkind and the Legacy Film Festival

Leslie Simon and I attended the 8th annual Legacy Film Festival on Aging on Sunday, September 16, and saw the short "Wendy's Shabbat" and the full-length feature "Abe & Phil's Last Poker Game."  We were impressed by the quality of the films and by how well-organized the film festival is.  Here's the incredible woman who founded it, Sheila Malkind!

I learned about the festival  from Sheila, who's a member of OWL, the group of women I met at the SF Public Library last October, when I was so impressed by them that I joined the group and haven't missed a meeting since.

Wendy's Shabbat was made by Rachel Myers,  the granddaughter of the woman it "stars," leading  her community to Wendy's, where they were welcomed to have their shabbat dinner.

I'll be back later with a description of the full-length film we saw.
