Just because you’re not Jewish doesn’t mean you can’t attend this year’s Toronto Jewish Film Festival.
That’s the message of a new campaign created by FCB Toronto to promote the event, which runs from April 30-May 10 (and only the films have to be Jewish, FYI). To highlight that sense of all-inclusiveness, FCB helmed a few spots that indulge in some rather ridiculous stereotyping to hammer home the “just because you’re this doesn’t mean can’t do this” missive.
Thanks to our clueless interviewer, we learn that white guys do eat tacos, Asian guys do drive Volvos, and you needn’t know yoga’s Hindu history to practice it.
The campaign as a whole is silly, but it’s easy to understand what FCB and TJFF are going for.
