This drama filmed in elegant black and white is from Hungarian director Ferenc Török. It captures the collective guilt of the community who have moved into the homes and taken possession of the property of their former Jewish neighbours forcing them to face culpability and dishonour when challenged by the two men of faith. \n  \nHungary 2017\, 91 mins\, Hungarian with sub-titles (Black and White) \nDirector Ferenc Török with Péter Rudolf and Tamás Szabó Kimme \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) URL:https://davarbristol.co.uk/event/1945/ LOCATION:Scott Cinema\, Bristol\, Northumbria Drive\, Henleaze\, Bristol\, Avon\, BS9 4HN\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Film Showing,holocaust END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20181031T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20181031T220000 DTSTAMP:20260413T134450 CREATED:20180828T210037Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180828T210037Z UID:285-1541016000-1541023200@davarbristol.co.uk 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) URL:https://davarbristol.co.uk/event/menashe/ LOCATION:Scott Cinema\, Bristol\, Northumbria Drive\, Henleaze\, Bristol\, Avon\, BS9 4HN\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Film Showing END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20180926T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20180926T220000 DTSTAMP:20260413T134451 CREATED:20180828T204458Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180828T211102Z UID:278-1537992000-1537999200@davarbristol.co.uk 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) URL:https://davarbristol.co.uk/event/bombshell-the-hedy-lamarr-story/ LOCATION:Scott Cinema\, Bristol\, Northumbria Drive\, Henleaze\, Bristol\, Avon\, BS9 4HN\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Film Showing END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20180131T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20180131T220000 DTSTAMP:20260413T134451 CREATED:20180114T083423Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180114T083748Z UID:236-1517428800-1517436000@davarbristol.co.uk 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) URL:https://davarbristol.co.uk/event/the-zookeepers-wife/ LOCATION:Scott Cinema\, Bristol\, Northumbria Drive\, Henleaze\, Bristol\, Avon\, BS9 4HN\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Film Showing,holocaust END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20171129T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20171129T220000 DTSTAMP:20260413T134451 CREATED:20170825T065352Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170825T065422Z UID:206-1511985600-1511992800@davarbristol.co.uk 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.

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”.

The ingredients story in which bridges are built across religious\, racial and generations. 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.

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) URL:https://davarbristol.co.uk/event/indignation/ LOCATION:Scott Cinema\, Bristol\, Northumbria Drive\, Henleaze\, Bristol\, Avon\, BS9 4HN\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Film Showing ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://davarbristol.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/F3_indignation.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20170125T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20170125T220000 DTSTAMP:20260413T134451 CREATED:20170107T165452Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170107T165452Z UID:151-1485374400-1485381600@davarbristol.co.uk SUMMARY:Atomic Falafel 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) URL:https://davarbristol.co.uk/event/atomic-falafel/ LOCATION:Scott Cinema\, Bristol\, Northumbria Drive\, Henleaze\, Bristol\, Avon\, BS9 4HN\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Comedy,Film Showing,Israeli move ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://davarbristol.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/F1_Atomic-Falafel-movie-poster.-Photo-courtesy.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20161130T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20161130T213500 DTSTAMP:20260413T134451 CREATED:20160320T170612Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160831T182209Z UID:12-1480536000-1480541700@davarbristol.co.uk 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) URL:https://davarbristol.co.uk/event/peggy-guggenheim-art-addict/ LOCATION:Avon CATEGORIES:Film Showing ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://davarbristol.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/peggy-guggenheim.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="DAVAR":MAILTO:info@davarbristol.co.uk END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20161026T200000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20161026T220000 DTSTAMP:20260413T134451 CREATED:20160831T174120Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160901T184147Z UID:60-1477512000-1477519200@davarbristol.co.uk SUMMARY:Son of Saul DESCRIPTION:Hungary\, France\, Israel\, USA 2015\, 107 mins\, cert 15\, subtitled \nDirector László Nemes\, featuring Geza Rohrig\, Levente Molnar\, Urs Rech \nThis devastating and terrifying film by László Nemes is set in the Auschwitz II-Birkenau death camp in 1944. Saul\, played by the 48-year-old Hungarian actor Géza Röhrig\, is a Jewish prisoner who has been made part of the Sonderkommando. They must manage the day-to-day business of herding bewildered prisoners out of the trains and up to the very doors of the gas chambers and then removing the bodies. With staggering audacity\, Son of Saul begins with something other\, comparable movies would hardly dare approach even at the very end – the gas chamber itself. Here is where Saul discovers the body of a boy\, whom he believes to be his son\, and sets out to find a rabbi among the prisoners to give him a proper burial.  Röhrig’s performance is transfixing\, without ever drifting into the realm of actorly pretence. The final image of his face – transformed by events that may be real or hallucinatory – is extraordinary. Son of Saul reopens the debate around the Holocaust and its cinematic thinkability\, addresses the aesthetic and moral issues connected with creating a fiction within it and probes the nature of Wittgenstein’s axiom “whereof one cannot speak\, thereof one must remain silent”.

Sands interviews Niklas Frank and Horst von Wächter\, the sons of Hans Frank and Otto Wächter\, respectively (among their other grim distinctions) the Nazi governor of occupied Poland and Nazi governor of Galicia in Ukraine. It becomes disturbingly clear that although Frank Jr has come to terms with what his father did\, Wächter Jr is still in denial – wriggling\, squirming\, trying to claim that his father was not personally guilty. Increasingly angry\, Sands confronts him with documentary proof that Otto Wächter had substantial administrative responsibility for the slaughter of Ukrainian Jews\, including Sands’s own family. It is a chilling demonstration of how the poison of the past can live in the bloodstream of the present.
