• Restoration, 4:45 p.m. Wednesday, April 25. The film tells the story of the relationships among 70-year-old Yaakov Fidelman — who is struggling to hold on to his antique restoration workshop — his son, Noah, and his new apprentice, Anton.

• The Moon Is Jewish, 2 p.m. Friday, April 27. This compelling documentary tells the story of Pawel, a skinhead in Warsaw, who discovered he had Jewish ancestry and is now an Orthodox Jew.

• Free Men, 2:45 p.m. Friday, April 27 and 4:50 p.m. Thursday, May 3. Based on actual events that occurred in Paris under the Nazi occupation, the film follows Muslim authorities suspected of aiding the Resistance and harboring Jews in the mosque.

The film tells three stories: of a Jewish man whose family chose to save the life of its worst enemy; of a Ukrainian woman who endured the theft of her children to save her country; and of a Polish priest who risked everything to end the sectarian hatred that tore at his parish. The filmmaker will speak.

• Nicky’s Family, 3:45 p.m. Sunday, April 29. The film is the story of Sir Nicholas Winton, then a young English stockbroker, who anonymously organized the rescue of 669 Czech and Slovak children just before World War II.
