    Year of publication: 2006
    Keywords: New York, NY ; Stummfilm ; Einwanderung ; USA ; Osteuropäische Juden
    Abstract: Based on the short stories of Anzia Yezierska, the first writer to bring stories of American Jewish women to a mainstream audience, Hungry Hearts focuses on the members of the Levin family who emigrate from Eastern Europe to New York City's Lower East Side. Abraham, the pious father learned in religion but uninterested in business, has difficulty making a living and adjusting to life in America. The daughter Sara scrubs floors in the tenement in order to earn money and "become a somebody." The mother Hannah, a noble matriarch, scrimps and saves to paint her dingy kitchen white only to have her landlord raise the rent because of the improvements. Filmed on location on the Lower East Side, this bittersweet classic captures the hopes and hardships of Jewish immigrants in the New World.

    Year of publication: 2006
    Keywords: Palästina ; Siedlung ; Zionismus
    Abstract: Spectacular rare archival film footage of Palestine in the tumultuous 1920s forms the heart of this documentary by Israeli filmmaker and scholar Ya'akov Gross. Considered lost for more than 70 years, these early films taken by Ya'akov Ben Dov, the father of Hebrew cinema, depict settlements and activities in Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Rishon le Zion and Old Jaffa; visits by Albert Einstein and Winston Churchill; the funeral of Eliezer Ben-Yehuda; and early Zionists who pioneered the Third and Fourth Aliyahs. A vital and accessible look at a formative period in Israeli history. Dreamers and Builders includes material from three rare films by Ya'akov Ben Dov: Return to Zion (1920-21), The Rebirth of a Nation (1923), and Romance of Palestine (1926) - preserved in a joint project by the National Center for Jewish Film and the Israel Film Archive.

    The inheritage (2009)
    Waltham, Mass. : National Center for Jewish Film
    Details
    Language: English
    Pages: 58 Min. , NTSC , s/w
    Year of publication: 2009
    Keywords: Einwanderung ; Dokumentarfilm ; USA
    Abstract: This documentary, sponsored by the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America, chronicles the history of the garment workers from 1900 to 1964. Opening with the flood of immigrants that poured through Ellis Island in the early 1900s, the film goes on to unveil dim Lower East Side sweatshops, coal mines and textile mills filled with children, the battlefields of World War I, and the anxious years of the Depression. In this setting we see the immigrants struggle to become part of their new country and labor's brutal battle to organize into a united movement during the 1930s. Actual footage of the Memorial Day Massacre at Republic Steel brings the power of authenticity to these scenes. The film moves through World War II and the Civil Rights movement of the 1960s, as each generation fights to preserve and expand its freedom.

    Avodah (2008)
    Waltham, Mass. : National Center for Jewish Film
    Details
    Pages: 50 Min. , s/w
    Year of publication: 2008
    Keywords: Palästina ; Siedlung ; Kibbuz ; Chaluz ; Dokumentarfilm
    Abstract: This landmark documentary celebrates the pioneering labors of early Jewish settlers in Palestine. With striking visual compositions and a remarkable soundtrack by the Budapest Symphony Orchestra, the film records the technological and agricultural accomplishments of the pioneers and extols the idea of a socialist Jewish state. Footage includes shots taken at the Jaffa port, in Tel Aviv, and on various kibbutzim of the time; Strasbourg-born director Lerski's expressive style creates an almost mythic image of the Jew in Palestine, toiling and triumphing amidst the sweeping desert landscape.
