Atlanta Jewish Film Festival Connects: Blue Note Records: Beyond the Notes

Jazz documentary enthusiasts will love the next Atlanta Jewish Film Festival Connects  "Blue Note Records: Beyond the Notes", which tells the story of two visionaries of the recording industry who together helped usher in an exciting new era of jazz at a time when African-American musicians faced discrimination.

German Jewish refugees Alfred Lion and Francis Wolff revolutionized the music industry when founding Blue Note Records. Their vision and impact is symphonically told in "Blue Note Records: Beyond the Notes.' With their commitment to amplifying diverse voices and promoting artistic freedoms, the careers of luminaries such as Miles Davis, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Ambrose Akinmusire, and Norah Jones have been launched through their label.

Through rare archival footage, current recording sessions and conversations with industry artists, the documentary seamlessly melds the mission and impact of the label’s founders and their connection to jazz and hip-hop today. Wednesday, August 28, 7:00 p.m. Presented in partnership with the Atlanta Black-Jewish Coalition. Get tickets here www.ajff.org or call the box office at (678) 701-6104. August 28, 7:00 p.m., Landmark's Midtown Art Cinema, 931 Monroe Dr NE. Tickets: $15 (film only); $25 (film screening and post-film appetizers at Apres Diem).

AJFF Connects presents new and encore film programming events that build bridges, foster dialogue, and bring together community partners throughout the year. The Facebook event can also be found here.

Medicaid Re-enrollment

If your ministry serves Medicaid/PeachCare for Kids, the Dept. of Human Services has a message and materials for you. 

    • Redetermination began in April 2023. Based on changes in federal law, the State of Georgia must complete redeterminations up to May 2024. We want to ensure current Medicaid and PeachCare for Kids® members are still eligible for coverage. 
    • During redetermination, the State of Georgia will collect and verify member information, including contact and income details as well as other requested information and documents that will be used to determine member eligibility. Not everyone will go through this process at the same time. In fact, it will take about 14 months to reach everyone. 
    • Members can visit gateway.ga.gov to view their redetermination date and to update their contact information today so they can stay informed about the status of their coverage. 
    • Members who need help can visit their local Division of Family & Children Services office for support. To find the location and business hours for local offices, visit: dfcs.ga.gov/location 
    • For more information on Medicaid redetermination, we are including a partner toolkit with resources in multiple languages, please visit “Stay Informed. Stay Covered.”
