The newly titled 38th Gershman Philadelphia Jewish Film Festival (GPJFF) kicked off the season with the Philadelphia premiere of The Interpreter, Martin Šulík’s powerful road trip comedy/drama (also Slovakia’s submission for Best Foreign Language Film for the 2019 Oscars!). Star Peter Simonischek, best known for his hilarious role in Toni Erdmann, attended the film for a post-film Q&A and sponsor reception.
