When Lindy and Eddie Tamir embarked on their first date together, aged 15, they went to the movies. Two abiding passions were sparked that day: cinema and a romantic partnership. After respective careers in fashion and property development, the Tamirs (married with kids in tow) embarked on a mission to save ailing cinemas across Melbourne. After successfully reviving the Classic Cinema in Elsternwick, they took the reigns of the Jewish International Film Festival (JIFF) an annual event that's become an institution in Australia's Jewish community.
