This month, with the UK Jewish Film Festival in full flow, we turn the spotlight on film.

I'm joined in the studio by the festival's artistic director Gali Gold, and Ric Cantor, director of the Anglo-Jewish romcom Susie Gold. Gali takes me through the highlights of the festival – including the award-winning animated documentary from Israel, Waltz with Bashir, which delves into the traumas of the first Lebanon War of 1982. I speak to director Ari Folman about why it took so long for former Israeli combat soldiers to speak up. You can hear more from my interview with Ari on Film Weekly.

Gali also recommends the JCC-sponsored screening of the Israeli TV series Arab Labour, by the renowned Palestinian Israeli writer Sayed Kashua. It's a comic take on the idiosyncracies of Israeli life, as viewed by a Palestinian Israeli family.

I speak to Borat director and Seinfeld co-writer, Larry Charles about his new film Religulous, his war on faith and shaving off his beard.

And finally, where have all the Jewish action heroes gone? Why are all the Jewish men on screen such nerds? Comedy writer Ivor Baddiel goes on a mission to find out.

Sounds Jewish is produced by the Jewish Community Centre for London.
