DAVID 
Country: USA 2011 Drama As the son of the Imam of the local Brooklyn mosque, eleven year-old Daud has to juggle the high expectations of his Father (Maz Jobrani) and his feelings of isolation and difference– even from his peers in the Muslim community. Through an innocent good deed gone awry, Daud inadvertently befriends a group of Jewish boys who mistake him as a fellow classmate at their orthodox school, in the neighbouring Jewish community. A genuine friendship grows between Daud and Yoav, one of the Jewish boys, and his family. Unable to resist the joy of a camaraderie that he has never felt before, David, as he is known to the kids, is drawn into a complicated dilemma, thanks to some careful but potentially dangerous youthful deception. Winner of the Ecumenical Jury Prize at the Montreal World Film Festival, this tender and quietly engaging film explores the boundaries of our cultures and religions, and looks at how static and yet fluid those boundaries can be. Awards: Winner – Ecumenical Jury prize, Montreal World Film Festival 2011 Date & Time: Sunday, November 27th at 3:40 PM
