UK Jewish Film Festival Sets 2023 Lineup Including Anthony Hopkins Pic ‘One Life’
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: The UK Jewish Film Festival (November 9 – 22) has revealed its lineup of 2023 gala screenings and premieres, including special presentations of the Anthony Hopkins pic One Life and Mario Bellochi’s Cannes competition title Kidnapped.
One Life, directed by James Hawes, will open the festival. The pic tells the true-life story of Nicholas Winton, a British stockbroker and son of German-Jewish parents, who, after being horrified by tales of refugees fleeing Nazi-occupied Sudetenland, sets off for Prague and begins to find ways to bring out as many refugee children as possible.

James Hawes will be present on the night to introduce his film. Mario Bellochi’s Kidnapped will screen at the festival’s centerpiece gala.
