Tuesday, November 18, 2025 - AIFF2025: Festival Passes, Nazi Art Thief, Remaining Native Or Not 

Notes that all film passes are now available, but that there was a limited number, so get yours soon.  Also notes that the online schedule lists "Jewish Museum Feature" only.  So I've added a bit of background to that film (Plunderer: The Life and Times of a Nazi Art Thief.)  Also a bit on Remaining Native and You're No Indian  - two films that seemed to go together.
