Jews in odd places: Mexico: The late-January-early-February sold-out Jewish Film Festival in Mexico City is one of only a handful of Spanish-language Jewish film festivals in the world.

“We are looking at this festival not as a Jewish event,” said Aron Margolis, director of the non-profit Mexico International Jewish Film Festival. “This is an excellent opportunity for Mexican society to get to know the Jewish community. The Jews in Mexico are known as a community that is very closed and doesn’t let people in to get to know us. But the more they know us, the more they understand us.”
