The Teaneck International Film Festival is 20 this year, and from November 6-13, with its forever theme of Activism:  Making Change, will present features, documentaries, and shorts, plus talkbacks, that raise awareness of critical issues and promote understanding and involvement. 

Opening night is Thursday, November 6th, 7:30 p.m. at Teaneck Cinemas (503 Cedar Lane), with the presentation of The Disappearance of Miss Scott. Sponsored by The National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc., Bergen/Passaic Chapter, the documentary chronicles the rise and fall of jazz virtuoso Hazel Scott, who was blacklisted from Hollywood and had her American television show canceled during the Red Scare after she refused to perform for segregated audiences.
