Italian Film Festival presents The Tree of Life
October 17th at 7 PM, at the Museum of Photographic Art in Balboa Park.

When electronics engineer and fledgling filmmaker Hava Volterra decided to document her family tree, she hoped only to gain a better understanding of her heritage. But her journeys to Italy, Israel and the United States opened up fascinating stories of her Italian Jewish ancestors from 1392 to the present as well as new insights into her late father. Animation and computer-enhanced marionettes add to this fascinating look at little-known Jewish history.
