As the only cultural group in the city that can claim an uninterrupted line of descent from the times of the empire, Roman Jews have fostered rituals and traditions that are unique in the world. From dawn to dusk, through the voices of several characters living and working in the historic Ghetto quarter, “Iom Romì” tells the story of a community both fiercely independent and distinctly Roman.       New York Jewish Film Festival  /  Official SelectionPitigliani Kolno’a Festival  /  Official SelectionAtlanta Jewish Film Festival  /  Offici
