Los Angeles Jewish Film Festival

It seems like there's a film festival every week in the City of Angels. This one runs May 3-10 and opens with "Tony Curtis: Driven to Stardom," a documentary about the actor born Bernie Schwartz, who rose to stardom in the 1950s. 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of both Universal and Paramount studios, and LAJFF joins in the celebration with tributes to some of Tinseltown's most sparkling icons. Locations and ticket prices vary. (800) 838-3006 or www.lajfilmfest.org.
