Movie Night at the Al Green Theatre: The Floaters

Closing Night Film, 2025 San Francisco Jewish Film Festival

Jackie Tohn (Netflix's Nobody Wants This) and Toronto’s own Sarah Podemski (Reservation Dogs) star in this offbeat and big-hearted summer camp comedy. Struggling musician Nomi takes a last-resort job from her best friend Mara at their childhood Jewish summer camp. As camp director Mara contends with a busted septic system, she tasks Nomi to supervise a group of outsider teens called the Floaters. When their wealthy rival camp issues a high stakes challenge with prize money on the line, Nomi and her gang of misfits must overcome their differences and outperform their foes to keep their camp alive. Framed through multigenerational perspectives, this offbeat comedy captures the rich diversity of a Jewish summer camp and explores the conflict between leaving one’s mark and building connection.

The terrific cast also features Aya Cash (The Boys), Seth Green (Robot Chicken) and Steve Guttenberg.
