    Abstract: Based on the true story that inspired "The Jazz Singer" and starring the legendary, real-life cantor Moishe Oysher in his most iconic role, "Overture to Glory" is a milestone of Yiddish filmmaking celebrating its 80th anniversary in this brand new restoration. In strictly segregated Poland, a young cantor succumbs to the allure of gentile culture and joins the Warsaw Opera, while pining for the world he left behind. He meets fame and fortune but at great personal cost, as he struggles to balance the appeal of his newfound fame and notoriety with feelings of guilt and responsibility toward his family and community. Filmed in the thick of World War II, the film's extensive cantorial segments read like an elegy for a disappearing world. Featuring perhaps the most convincing scenes of synagogue life in any fiction film, "Overture to Glory" begins during the morning service on Rosh Hashanah and ends at Kol Nidre, making the story a kind of redemptive journey during the Days of Awe.

    Abstract: Made in 1948, just a few short years after the horrors it strives to process, Distant Journey is one of the first feature films to tackle the subject of the Holocaust, and was the debut film from controversial avant-garde visionary of Czech theatre, Alfréd Radok. Set in the Bohemian town of Terezín as the Nazi transports to German extermination camps began in earnest, Radok's vividly experimental film blends documentary footage with a fictional love story between a Jewish woman and her gentile husband. A mix of raw expressionist intensity and analysis, Distant Journey presents a harrowing account of the Nazi horrors of the recent past and remains a stark, ever-relevant warning from history.
