17th Stockholm International Film Festival presents:

David & Layla:  From an impossible romance, a hope (a fantasy!) for peace.

A Jewish Muslim romantic comedy set in New York inspired by a true love story!

18 Official Festival Selections; 2 Wins

Questions & Answers with the Director

A Diaspora New York  Independent film

"This new comedy about young loves and the large ethnic families (on both sides) that stand between them could have been just another My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but its originality and insight set it apart. This outright charmer by Jay Jonroy has the potential of being a broad crowd-pleaser, along the lines of My Big Fat Greek Wedding. Only David and Layla is a superior variation on that film, with unexpected insights…”-  Joe Baltake

 Invited not only to regular film fests but also to ‘Human Rights' and ‘Love/ Romantic Films' fests!

Invited to compete for the “Most Romantic Film' of World Cinema at Tahiti Film Festival, Dec 2 - Dec 9

Also invited to “23rd Festival du film d'Amour” de Mons, Belgium during Valentine week, Feb 9 - Feb 16

“…an earnest, frequently funny comedy about stateless persons and the looming clichés that make Muslims and Jews so wary of each other. Completely accessible tale of the unlikely romance between a quintessential Jewish New Yorker and a lovely Kurdish refugee.  Shiva Rose (Layla) excels as a self-reliant damsel in distress worth rooting for."- Lisa Nesselson, VARIETY

DAVID & LAYLA screenings in "American Independent Competition.”
