SUMMARY:Escape from Pretoria
DESCRIPTION:Australia\, South Africa\, UK 2020\, 106 mins\, English \nDirector Francis Annan\, featuring Daniel Radcliffe\, Daniel Webber\, Ian Hart \nBased on the real-life prison break of two political captives\, this is a race-against-time thriller set in the tumultuous apartheid days of South Africa in the late 1970s.  Two white South Africans\, Tim Jenkin and Stephen Lee\, are arrested for carrying out anti-apartheid missions. Sentenced to twelve years and eight years respectively\, they are transported to Pretoria Prison where Jenkin plans their daring escape.  In the prison they meet veteran ANC activist Denis Goldberg\, who received a life sentence in 1964 alongside Nelson Mandela for previous work against apartheid. He shows them the ropes but discourages them from trying to escape. \n“The film has something pleasingly traditional about it\, with tense nail-biting moments and touches of The Great Escape and Papillon.” (Peter Bradshaw\, The Guardian) \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Three Minutes: A Lengthening
DESCRIPTION:Netherlands/UK 2022\, 69 mins\, English\, Polish\, German\, Yiddish; Director Bianca Stigter\, narrated by Helen Bonham Carter \nThree Minutes: A Lengthening presents a home movie shot by David Kurtz in 1938 in a Jewish town in Poland and tries to postpone its ending. As long as we are watching\, history is not over yet. The three minutes of footage\, mostly in colour\, are the only moving images left of the Jewish inhabitants of Nasielsk before the Holocaust. The existing three minutes are examined to unravel the stories hidden in the celluloid. The footage is imaginatively edited to create a film that lasts over an hour. Different voices enhance the images. Glenn Kurtz\, grandson of David Kurtz\, provides his knowledge of the footage. Maurice Chandler\, who appears in the film as a boy\, shares his memories. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:A Call to Spy
DESCRIPTION:A Call to Spy is an historical drama inspired by the true stories of women recruited into England’s Special Operations Executive (SOE) during World War II.  Desperate for new recruits\, the SOE\, created in 1940 after the fall of France and before the US joined the war\, decided to train women as spies as it was believed that women could move more freely than men in occupied territories.  Vera Atkins\, a Romanian Jewish immigrant in London\, was the spymistress in charge of the program.  The work was extremely dangerous\, with all recruits risking death and many were killed or sent to concentration camps.  The film follows the stories of Vera Atkins and two recruits: Virginia Hall\, an American with a prosthetic leg and Noor Inayat Khan\, a Muslim pacifist born of Indian and Russian parents. \nA Call to Spy is an engrossing and often thrilling spy drama and a tribute to this courageous and diverse group of women who showed extraordinary bravely and ingenuity. Sarah Megan Thomas (writer\, producer and actor) believes that its themes are timeless. “It’s about standing up as individuals and taking action for what you believe in.” \nUSA 2019\, 124 mins\, English \nDirector Lydia Dean Pilcher featuring Sarah Megan Thomas\, Stana Katic\, Radhika Apte \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Sarah’s Key
DESCRIPTION:Adapted from Tatiana de Rosnay’s best-selling novel of the same name\, Sarah’s Key is an account of research by a journalist into a shameful incident in French history which intertwines with a story of a young Jewish girl from that time period. \n  \n‘In Paris in 1942 the French police round up 10-year-old Sarah (Mélusine Mayance) and her family. To save her little brother\, Sarah locks him in a closet and closely guards the key on her awful journey\, which starts at the stifling Vélodrome d’Hiver\, where Jews were packed in and made to wait for transport to the camps. Sixty or so years later\, Julia (Kristin Scott Thomas\, excellent as always)\, an American journalist married to a Frenchman\, researches an article about that roundup. Because of the article and an accident of real estate\, Julia starts to obsess about Sarah and her fate\, even as her own comfortable Parisian life begins to crumble’ (Rachel Saltz\, NY Times) \nFrance 2010\, 111 mins\, French\, English \nDirector Gilles Pacquet-Brenner featuring Kristin Scott Thomas \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles
DESCRIPTION:Max Lewkowicz’s richly detailed documentary celebrates the illustrious Broadway show Fiddler on the Roof\, the evergreen shtetl-set musical first staged in 1964 with choreography and direction by Jerome Robbins and starring Zero Mostel as Teyve\, the milkman. \nContributions from a range of interviewees – including people attached to the original production\, such as producer Hal Prince and lyricist Sheldon Harnick\, and famous fans of the show\, including Fran Lebowitz and Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda – help to structure the history lesson about how Fiddler became a massive international hit. That account is filled out with footage of recent productions from around the world as well as the 1971 film version\, starring Chaim Topol and directed by Norman Jewison.  What makes this documentary are the organically introduced digressions into\, among many other things\, the history of the Pale of Settlement\, Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem and Marc Chagall.

SUMMARY:Fiddler: A Miracle of Miracles - CANCELLED DUE TO LOCKDOWN RESTRICTIONS
DESCRIPTION:Dir. Max Lewkowicz; 2019; 97 min; English \nDirector Max Lewkowicz’s richly detailed documentary celebrates the illustrious Broadway show Fiddler on the Roof\, the evergreen shtetl-set musical first staged in 1964 with choreography and direction by Jerome Robbins and starring Zero Mostel as Teyve\, the milkman. Contributions from a range of interviewees – including people attached to the original production\, such as producer Hal Prince and lyricist Sheldon Harnick\, and famous fans of the show\, including Fran Lebowitz and Hamilton creator Lin-Manuel Miranda – help to structure the history lesson about how Fiddler became a massive international hit. That account is filled out with footage of recent productions from around the world\, including one in Japanese and one by some African American high-school kids in Brooklyn \nWhat really makes this documentary are the digressions into\, among many other things\, the history of the Pale of Settlement\, who exactly was Yiddish writer Sholem Aleichem (who wrote the stories the show is based on)\, Marc Chagall\, and the show’s ghostly connection to the Holocaust\, even though it’s not mentioned in the show itself.  Despite its age\, this musical engages audiences\, both Jewish and non-Jewish\, all over the world and has a remarkable ability to seem relevant to every era\, including the present day with the rise of the ultra right and anti-semitism. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:The Band's Visit
DESCRIPTION:Dir. Eran Korilin; 90 minutes; English\, Hebrew\, Arabic \nThis award winning charming Israeli comedy is the tale of an Egyptian police band stranded overnight in a quiet Israeli settlement after taking the wrong bus. It features lovely performances from Sasson Gabai as the band’s impeccably behaved conductor and actress Ronit Elkabetz as an Israeli bar owner who puts him up for the night. A beautifully controlled piece\, it marks the impressive debut of director and screenwriter Eran Kolirin\, who handles the delicate shades of politics with subtle tones. The Egyptians encounter a few Israeli townspeople\, who respond with curiosity about the band\, are variously friendly and wary\, and provide them with shelter\, food\, music and companionship during their visit. \n“In the morning\, the band reassembles and leaves: An interlude involving two “enemies\,” Arabs and Israelis\, that shows them both as only ordinary people with ordinary hopes\, lives and disappointments. It has also shown us two souls with rare beauty.” (Roger Egbert) \n  \n  \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:JoJo Rabbit
DESCRIPTION:Dir. Taika Waititi\,\nStarring Taika Waititi\, Roman Griffin Davis\, Scarlett Johansson\, Rebel Wilson ; 2019\, 123 mins\, English \nSince the days of Chaplin’s The Great Dictator\, film-makers have adopted naive or comedic perspectives to pierce and deflate the hideous bubble of Nazi ideology. Now\, in this Golden Globe-nominated adaptation of Christine Leunens’s book Caging Skies\, New Zealand writer-director-performer Taika Waititi plays a camp\, slapstick version of Hitler\, who exists in the mind of a German boy\, Jojo. Roman Griffin Davis plays the 10-year-old growing up under the Third Reich\, whose jolly dreams of becoming an Aryan war hero are thwarted by his innate sensitivity and squeamishness. Beneath the fanaticism\, Jojo is a frightened boy whose sister has died and whose father has disappeared in battle. But his mother\, Rosie (Scarlett Johansson)\, has a secret: she’s a covert anti-fascist who is hiding a Jewish girl\, Elsa (Thomasin McKenzie)\, in the attic. When Jojo stumbles upon Elsa\, he is initially horrified\, believing her to be a monster. But gradually the pair strike up a love-hate relationship that infuriates imaginary Adolf and causes Jojo to start to rethink his allegiances. Through Elsa\, Waititi articulates some fundamental and insidious tenets of antisemitism that are being touted even now. She is the real conduit for empathy in the audience\, regardless of whether you’re Jewish or not \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

DESCRIPTION:  \nTHIS FILM HAS BEEN CANCELLED BECAUSE OF COVID-19 \n  \n  \nUK 2003\, 106 mins\, English \nDirector Paul Morrison \nIn this comedy drama\, David Wiseman is mad about cricket but faces two problems: he’s Jewish and he’s absolutely hopeless at playing the game. When a Jamaican family move next door\, the father Dennis schools him in the delicate arts of bat and ball. David’s parents come out of their shells thanks to Dennis\, while David learns about growing up and becoming assertive both on and off the pitch. \n‘The movie presents a pretty convincing account of its time and is well acted. Like Paul Morrison’s earlier movie\, Solomon and Gaenor\, Wondrous Oblivion is somewhat contrived and occasionally sentimental. But it’s warm\, kindly\, and has a heart the size of the Oval.’ (Philip French\, Observer review) \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Remember
DESCRIPTION:Canada/Germany 2015\, 94 mins\, English \nDirector Atom Egoyan featuring Christopher Plummer and Martin Landau \n‘Christopher Plummer puts on a master class in acting\, and his director\, Atom Egoyan\, delivers one in audience manipulation in Remember a psychological thriller featuring that most blood-boiling of plot devices: a Nazi who escaped justice.’ \nMr. Plummer is Zev and Martin Landau plays Max\, fellow residents in an assisted-living complex. Max realizes they were both at Auschwitz. He is the brains and Zev is the brawn\, so to speak\, of a plan Max has hatched to seek vengeance on a concentration camp official who escaped to the United States under a false identity. Max is in a wheelchair\, but he arms Zev and sends him on a cross-country journey to interview four people who could be the missing Nazi\, the hope being that he’ll kill the man once he finds him. But Zev is floating in and out of dementia\, complicating the task and giving Mr. Plummer a chance to turn in a very fine performance.’ (Neil Glezinger\, NY Times review) \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Back to Berlin
DESCRIPTION:Following eleven modern-day Jewish bikers on an epic journey from Tel-Aviv to Berlin\, crossing nine European countries and 4\,500 km in twenty-four days. Their mission\, to deliver the Maccabi torch to Hitler’s infamous 1936 Olympic stadium\, for the opening ceremony of the 2015 European Maccabiah Games. These riders follow in the tracks of the early 1930s’ bikers who set out from Tel Aviv to all corners of Europe.  En route\, each country holds a chilling resonance for our motor-cycling Holocaust survivors\, descendants of survivors and the grandson of a 1930s Maccabiah Rider. Stories of defiance and survival are revealed\, as well as those of horrifying tragedy.  As resurgent populism and anti-Semitism once again rear their ugly heads\, this film brings an important message through the voice of those who have been personally affected by one of the darkest pages in human history. This isn’t simply a “Jewish” story. It is the story of people overcoming the worst from fellow man to restate our common humanity. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:A bag of marbles (un sac de billes)
DESCRIPTION:Last year this film was sold out\, so we are reshowing it. Canadian director Christian Duguay explores the horrors of World War Two from the perspective of two young Jewish boys living in Nazi-occupied France in Un Sac de Billes (A Bag of Marbles). Based on the acclaimed memoirs of the same name by Joseph Joffo\, A Bag of Marbles is a lavishly shot production that is brilliantly acted and is a gut-wrenching reminder of one of history’s darkest chapters. Following the fall of Paris to Nazi Germany during World War II\, brothers Maurice (Batyste Fleurial) and Joseph (Dorian Le Clech) are forced to leave their close-knit Jewish family behind for the free-zone along the French Riviera. \n Despite the grim war scenes and the dark subject matter\, Duguay has created a lavishly shot film that boasts stunning cinematography\, lush locations and beautiful period costumes. The film beautifully balances the high stake tension with some sweet and endearing moments between the two brothers and celebrates their innocence. While the film is a dark reminder of a terrible page in our history\, its heart-warming story reminds us that there are still good people in our darkest moments (modified from Daniele Foti-Cuzzola) \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Disobedience
DESCRIPTION:The question of whose disobedience\, and what kind of disobedience it is\, are at the heart of this absorbing and moving love story from Chilean director Sebastián Lelio based on the novel by Naomi Alderman. The drama takes place in the Orthodox Jewish community of north London. Weisz is Ronit\, a young photographer evidently living a fashionable and bohemian lifestyle in New York. Out of the blue\, she receives some bad news from back home that her father\, a much-respected rabbi\, has died. Ronit’s return resurrects her past relationships with Dovid (Alessandro Nivola)\, her father’s favourite pupil\, who is now a much admired young rabbi himself. The other is with Esti\, beautifully played by Rachel McAdams\, who was Ronit’s only ally in youthful rebelliousness back in the day. This is a richly satisfying and powerfully acted work.

SUMMARY:Menashe
DESCRIPTION:“Set within the New York Hasidic community in Borough Park\, Brooklyn\, Menashe follows a kind but hapless grocery store clerk trying to maintain custody of his son Rieven after his wife\, Lea\, passes away. Since they live in a tradition-bound culture that requires a mother present in every home\, Rieven is supposed to be adopted by the boy’s strict\, married uncle\, but Menashe’s Rabbi decides to grant him one week to spend with Rieven prior to Lea’s memorial. Their time together creates an emotional moment of father/son bonding as well as offers Menashe a final chance to prove to his skeptical community that he can be a capable parent. \nShot in secret entirely within the Hasidic community depicted in the film\, and one of the only movies to be performed in Yiddish in nearly 70 years\, Menashe is a warm\, life-affirming look at the universal bonds between father and son that also sheds unusual light on a notoriously private community. Based largely on the real life of its Hasidic star Menashe Lustig\, the film is a strikingly authentic and deeply moving portrait of family\, love\, connection\, and community.” (taken from https://a24films.com/films) \nUS 2017\, 81 mins\, Yiddish (subtitled)  Director Joshua Z Weinstein featuring Menashe Lustig\, Ruben Nibroski \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr story
DESCRIPTION:There can hardly be any more extraordinary story from the Hollywood golden age than that of Hedy Lamarr; an assimilated Austrian Jew\, a very beautiful star with a moderate acting talent but an untutored brilliance in science and engineering.. Her tragedy was that she was in the wrong business\, precisely that business that promotes beauty over brains – the movie business. Alexandra Dean’s excellent and important documentary about her is very instructive – a parable of modern sexual politics and assumptions about science. Lamarr was an enigma: a great brain trapped in a silly\, spurious image of glamour\, while her real talent was allowed to wither. A sad but fascinating story. (modified from Peter Bradshaw review) \nThe film has won several awards since being shown at the Tribeca Film Festival\, including a New York Times Critic’s Pick and five audience awards. J. Hoberman named it “one of the ten best films of 2017 \n  \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:The Zookeepers Wife
DESCRIPTION:Adapted from Diane Ackerman’s 2007 non-fiction book\, the film follows Warsaw zookeepers Jan (Heldenbergh) and Antonina (Chastain) as they risk their lives to save Jewish townspeople from the Nazis by concealing them in their zoo home-turned-pig farm. From the opening scene of almost fairy-tale idyll\, life is transformed by the arrival of the Nazis.  The film contrasts life in the zoo with the neighbouring Warsaw ghetto and the struggles of its inhabitants as well as the partisans. \nThe story of the zookeepers who risked their lives repeatedly throughout the war is an incredibly moving and important story\, in and of itself. Years later\, when asked why they did what they did\, Jan Zabinski answered\, “I only did my duty—if you can save somebody’s life\, it’s your duty to try.” (Sheila O’Malley) \n  \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Denial
DESCRIPTION:In 1996\, the historian Deborah Lipstadt was pursued in the UK courts by the notorious Holocaust denier David Irving\, for calling him a falsifier of history in her book Denying the Holocaust: The Growing Assault on Truth and Memory. This movie version of those events\, stars Rachel Weisz as Lipstadt and Timothy Spall as Irving. Weisz plays the professional historian who is astonished to find that people expect her to debate on equal terms with sinister deniers.  Lipstadt retains the solicitor Anthony Julius\, (Andrew Scott)\, who plans a shrewd legal tactic that involves the case being heard in front of a judge\, with no jury\, to minimise Irving’s theatricals. This film\, which reasserts the primacy of truth telling its story with punchy commitment and force\, is a breath of fresh air.

SUMMARY:Felix and Meira
DESCRIPTION:  \nUnfolding on snowy sidewalks and beneath overcast skies\, “Felix and Meira” watches ever so closely as a young Hasidic wife and mother is tempted by the quirky charms of a wayward older man. Yet this tenderly observed love story isn’t about religion — or its lack — but about the attraction of difference and the undeniable need to feel alive. That’s something that Meira (Hadas Yaron) clearly longs for; chafing against the restrictions imposed by her Orthodox community\, and weary of being scolded by her bewildered husband\, Shulem (Luzer Twersky).  Though set in present-day Montreal\, this tender romance unfolds like an episode from another century\, paying the sort of careful attention to social boundaries you’d expect to find in a classic forbidden-love novel. It “distinguishes itself through its subtlety and sensitivity\, offering quiet reflection for festival and arthouse audiences”.

DESCRIPTION:  \nTake an aging white Jewish baker\, add a young black Muslim immigrant\, and what do you have?

Nat (Jonathan Pryce)\, who runs a kosher London bakery is struggling and facing a hostile takeover bid from a cutthroat developer who wants to tear it down. When Nat’s apprentice quits\, he reluctantly hires Ayyash (Jerome Holder)\, a Muslim immigrant from Africa. Ayyash supplements the family income by selling marijuana on the side\, and when he makes an unplanned recipe alteration and mixes some into the baked goods\, business booms. “Dough” is sweet\, often funny and always nonthreatening\, a movie for those who wish the intractable realities of the world would just disappear.

SUMMARY:Indignation
DESCRIPTION:Set against the backdrop of the Korean War\, a working-class Jewish student\, Marcus (Logan Lerman)\, leaves Newark\, New Jersey\, to attend a small college in Ohio. There\, he experiences a sexual awakening after meeting the elegant and wealthy Olivia (Sarah Gadon)\, and confronts the school’s dean (Tracy Letts) over the role of religion in academic life. \n“Indignation\,” the directing debut of the long time independent film producer and executive James Schamus\, is a movie so insistently out of step with contemporary American cinema as to be considered practically defiant. Adapted from a novel by Philip Roth\, “Indignation” is\, like much of Roth’s late work\, concerned with\, or perhaps the better phrase is “consumed by” mortality and its inevitability. The novel’s measured prose carries a subtext of absolute rage at the arbitrary unfairness of fate. “Drawing superb performances from each and every one of his actors\, Schamus meticulously makes every shot\, and every gesture contained within that shot\, count…..Schamus’ commitment to a style\, and to the material\, yields potent results.…It brings home all the indignation of Roth’s work\, and adds some fresh fuel to that fire.” (Glenn Kenny www.rogerebert.com) \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

DESCRIPTION:  \nWednesday 25th January 2017 at 8.00pm\nIsrael\, Germany\, UK 2015\, 93 mins\, English\, Hebrew\, Farsi (sub-titles)\nDirector Dror Shaul featuring Mali Levi\, Michelle Treves\, Michelle Treves \nWith Iran threatening to attain nuclear power\, anxious Israeli politicians and top brass gather in an underground bunker to debate a response and whether to consider a preemptive strike. Above ground in a dusty Negev town\, a mother-daughter team runs a falafel truck catering to troops patrolling a nearby nuclear reactor. As the widowed mother (Mali Levi) falls for a uranium-allergic German nuclear inspector\, her daughter (Michelle Treves) and computer whiz boyfriend (Idan Carmeli) stumble upon secret files that could prevent a nuclear conflagration. As the zany plotlines converge\, the Israeli teens and an Iranian youth scramble to thwart war between their countries. “Dror Shaul’s Atomic Falafel is a funny\, enjoyable and slightly subversive comedy about the conflict between Israel and a nuclear Iran. It plays like a kind of Israeli Dr. Strangelove meets War Games meets a sketch-comedy television show.” (Hannah Brown\, Jerusalem Post) \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)

SUMMARY:Peggy Guggenheim Art Addict
DESCRIPTION:USA 2015\, 95 minutes\, English\nDirector Lisa Vreeland\, featuring Peggy Guggenheim \nBack by popular demand. This film was sold out last season and as many members did not get in\, we have given it a second viewing. This documentary film about the life of the art collector Peggy Guggenheim\, is constructed around rediscovered audiotapes from the late 1970s  and includes several classic film extracts (1929 to 1997).  A colourful character who was not only ahead of her time but helped to define it\, Peggy Guggenheim was an heiress to her family fortune who became a central figure in the modern art movement. As she moved through the cultural upheaval of the 20th century\, she collected not only art\, but artists. Her personal history included such figures as Samuel Beckett\, Max Ernst\, Jackson Pollock\, Alexander Calder\, Marcel Duchamp as well as countless others. While fighting through personal tragedy\, she maintained her vision to build one of the most important collections of modern art. \nShare this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window)Click to print (Opens in new window)
