    East and West (2006)

    Year of publication: 2006
    Uniform Title: Ost und West
    Keywords: DVD-Video
    Abstract: This delightful comedy opens as Morris Brown, a New Yorker better acquainted with his checkbook than his prayerbook, returns to Galicia with his very American daughter, Mollie (the incomparable Molly Picon) for a family wedding. The bride, daughter of his traditionally observant brother, and Mollie, whose exuberant antics fill the film, could not be more different. But Mollie unexpectedly meets her match, an engaging young yeshiva scholar who forsakes tradition and joins the secular world to win her heart. "East and West" features classic scenes of Molly Picon lifting weights and boxing, teaching young villagers to shimmy and stealing away from services to gorge herself before sundown on Yom Kippur. Underlying these hijinks is veteran filmmaker Goldin's affectionate appreciation of differences, for good-natured comedy shapes his portrayal of worldly Jews encountering traditional shtetl life.

    Abstract: This 1929 documentary film contains close-ups of the leading Balkan Sephardi rabbis of the time and rare footage of Jewish schools, residential quarters, synagogues, and cemeteries as well as a sampling of Sephardi religious customs. This short unusual film was discovered by Sharon Pucker Rivo, director of NCJF, during a visit to Barcelona to commemorate the 500th anniversary of the 1492 expulsion of the Jews from Spain. "Jews of the Spanish Homeland" provides a rare glimpse of Sephardic communities in Salonika, Constantinople, Yugoslavia, and Romania as well as former centers of Jewish life in Spain.

    Keywords: DVD-Video
    Abstract: "The Yidishe Gauchos" is a story of immigration and survival in the Argentine pampas. At the end of the nineteenth century, thousands of East European Jews fled from persecution and pogroms. With the help of the Jewish Colonization Association, these Jews adapted to a life on the pampas alongside the tough Argentine cowboys, the gauchos. The immigrants became ranchers and farmers; professions unknown to shtetl Jews from East Europe. Utilizing archival footage, commentary from scholars and interviews with those who remember the earliest days of Jewish settlement in Argentina, this lively documentary illuminates an unknown chapter of modern Jewish history.

    Uniform Title: Freylikhe Kabtsonim
    Keywords: DVD-Video
    Abstract: "Jolly Paupers" combines the rare talents of the Warsaw Art Players under the leadership of Zygmunt Turkow. In this musical comedy, the famous comic duo Dzigan and Shumacher play two small town "entrepreneurs" who believe they have struck oil in a local field. The whole town finds out and thus begins a comedy of errors, including millionaire investors, American schemers, and insane asylums (not to mention a little matchmaking on the side). Yet in the face of setbacks, these two simpletons are relentless in their efforts to escape their misery and achieve fame and fortune and refuse to give in to despair. During the last years preceding the outbreak of World War II, the Dzigan and Shumacher comedy revue theatre gained immense popularity. Their satirical monologues and skits provided Jewish audiences with an escape and a rare opportunity to laugh. [jewishfilm.org]

    Keywords: DVD-Video
    Abstract: Benstock cleverly mixes animation and live footage to hold the attention and the use of quick cuts between kitsch ornaments, people smiling for the camera under the infamous Arbeit Macht Frei sign and letting children run about without a thought for those on a true pilgrimage of remembrance shine a startling light on our ignorance. The abiding image is the same as that seen in KZ, our need to remember fighting with our desire to gloss over things so the enormity of horror is reduced. Even in such a short runtime there is no sense of Benstock being reductive or of him drawing glib conclusions - he wants us to see for ourselves. Anyone not old enough to remember this dark period of modern history would do well to take note. [www.eyeforfilm.co.uk]

    Abstract: Yes, it's just your typical all-Yiddish shoot-'em-up: a small boy falls out of a covered wagon on its way West and shows up years later as a quick trigger cowboy. When he is unjustly accused of theft, a gunfight breaks out to the strains of "Oyfn Pripitchik." This spoof was made by adding a Yiddish dialogue to the "Son of Oklahoma", a 1932 Hollywood Western. A hilarious short for a Yiddish-speaking audience! [jewishfilm.org]

    Abstract: "Girona: The Mother of Israel" documents Jewish daily life in Girona, a city in the northeastern Spanish region of Catalonia, from its "Golden Age" in the Middle Ages through the expulsion of Spanish Jewry in 1492 and up to the present day. Recognized as the "Mother of Israel," a name given to just a few sites in the world considered Jewish spiritual resting places, Girona was once home to an important school of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism) and has a significant place in Jewish history. In addition to interviews with historians, highlights of the program include Catalan-Ladino folk music and footage of Girona's Jewish quarter as it appears today. [jewishfilm.org]

    Abstract: From her apartment in New York, eighty-year-old Louise Zilkha reviews the highlights of her life that began with a traditional Jewish upbringing in Baghdad. Zilkha reminisces about her youth, of playing Queen Esther and of her arranged courtship and marriage to a leading Middle Eastern banker. She talks about the often turbulent coexistence of Iraqi Jews and Moslems, and of the persecution and threats that led the family on a journey out of Iraq to Beirut, Cairo, and finally, New York. The film is at once a very personal portrait and a documentary tribute to a lost culture. [jewishfilm.org]

    Abstract: For his birthday Izzie Cohen wants a motorcycle, but his father gives him a camera instead. Izzie takes a photograph of his father in an apparently compromising position and uses it to blackmail him into buying a motorcycle. When the motorcycle arrives, Izzie's father gets on and starts it accidentally. He can neither control it nor turn it off and it runs wildly through the house before crashing through the house of his Irish neighbor, Murphy. Cohen and the motorcycle zip along dragging Murphy in a bathtub. The wild ride that ensues eventually catches the attention of a traffic cop. Finally the motorcycle hits a tree and the cop arrests Cohen and Murphy for reckless driving. The Izzie and Lizzie series picked up on the popularity during the twenties of Jewish comic characters such as Potash and Perlmutter, or Max Davison's Jewish characters in Hal Roach's films.

    Keywords: DVD-Video
    Abstract: So many Holocaust films draw their power exclusively from the event itself, but "Zahor" has an original idea. In a brief 22 minutes Zahor makes an essential visual point about the victims of the Holocaust - that the way they are traditionally presented in the media, as skeletons in striped uniforms, says nothing about them but everything about their Nazi tormentors. Through vintage photographs and films we meet real people - not yet victims - young people with so much potential, crushed with so much hate, hate tolerated by so much indifference worldwide. - Gene Siskel [jewishfilm.org]

    Uniform Title: His people
    Keywords: DVD-Video
    Abstract: In "His People", the two sons of a poor Russian-Jewish pushcart peddler on New York's Lower East Side are both causing their father grief. Morris, a selfish, ambitious student, wants to become a lawyer, and in doing so tries to hide his background from his friends. Sammy gets a job to help pay his brother's college education, and to his father's horror, becomes a prizefighter and plans to marry an Irish girl. As Morris and Sammy stray from traditions cherished by their parents, each generation learns to accept change in order to preserve the family as a source of love and respect Director Sloman's images of New York's Lower East Side are so evocative that the viewer can almost hear the hustle and bustle of that thriving neighborhood during the 1920s.

    Uniform Title: Dem Khazns Zundyl
    Keywords: DVD-Video
    Abstract: This Yiddish feature film musical drama marks the screen debut of singer and cantor Moishe Oysher ("Overture to Glory" and "The Singing Blacksmith"). Shot in Pennsylvania near the Pocono Mountains, the film features Oysher in the title role of a wayward youth who makes his way from his Polish shtetl to New York's Lower East Side (the film includes rare glimpses of the Lower East Side and of 2nd Avenue Yiddish theater marquees of the period). While washing floors in a nightclub several years later he is "discovered" and becomes a well-known singer. Ultimately, Oysher's character returns home to the Old Country and reunites with his parents and his childhood sweetheart. In his book on Yiddish cinema "Bridge of Light", critic J. Hoberman calls "The Cantor's Son" an "anti-Jazz Singer," further remarking that the film's story parallels Oysher's own struggle to reconcile his cantorial calling with a career in show business. Like his film character, Oysher, born in Bessarabia the son and grandson of cantors, was both a matinee idol and a celebrated cantor. Oysher was married to his co-star Florence Weiss. After film director Sidney M. Goldin ("Uncle Moses", "East and West") suffered a fatal heart attack during the production of "The Cantor's Son", he was replaced by Stanislavsky-protege Ilya Motlyeff, who is credited as the film's director. The film's score (including the sentimental song "Mayn Shtetele Betz") was composed by Alexander Olshanetsky, a concert violinist and veteran of the 2nd Avenue Yiddish theater. [jewishfilm.org]

A multi-talented artist, writer, poet, and Yiddish Art Theater designer, Cutler is probably best known as the cartoonist for the Jewish communist newspaper, "The Freiheit". These fanciful and slightly surreal sketches preserve his work with the marionettes he designed, built and brought to life. Puppet personalities in the film include an old Jewish couple, a caricatured Rabbi and a couple of "peppery little Jews" performing traditional Jewish and Jazz dance. [jewishfilm.org]

    Pages: 1 DVD-Video (79 Min.) , schwarz-weiß
    Year of publication: 2006
    Uniform Title: Mirele Efros
    Keywords: DVD-Video
    Abstract: "Mirele Efros", the Jewish Queen Lear, was the masterpiece of Ukrainian-born Jacob Gordin, an enormously influential Yiddish playwright whose works sought to describe and promulgate the ethos of mentshlekhkeyt: the practice of honesty, decency, and devotion toward family and community. This sophisticated version of his stage classic faithfully recreates Jewish life in turn-of-the-century Grodno, Poland. Berta Gersten gives a memorable performance as Mirele, a wealthy and pious widow whose devotion to her children extends to hand-picking a wife for her eldest son, gravely mistaking the young woman's character as giving and devout. The resulting conflict between the noble Jewish matriarch and her ungrateful, self-serving daughter-in-law provides both a cautionary tale and a lesson in the value of filial piety. [jewishfilm.org]

    Keywords: DVD-Video
    Abstract: Is "Two Sisters" domestic tragedy or dark comedy? Any way that you look at it, make sure there's a tissue nearby: On her deathbed in a Bronx tenament, Mrs. Glickstein extracts a promise from her eldest daughter Betty: that she will be both sister and mother to her younger sister Sally, and to do everything to ensure her happiness. From then on Betty works tirelessly supporting her sister through nursing school, her fiancee through medical school and her father in a TB sanatarium only to have her happiness shattered when her sister and fiancee fall in love. Jennie Goldstein puts in a command performance as the "pathological arch-martyr" Betty, including a rampage through her fiancee's office declaring everything, including him, belongs to her! This family drama of personal sacrifice and devotion without end amidst the struggle to succeed in America provides a perfect vehicle for Jennie Goldstein. The screenplay, which combines slapstick humor and deep pathos, is typical of the once-vibrant Second Avenue Yiddish theater and preserves Jennie Goldstein's only film appearance. [jewishfilm.org]

    Abstract: Dokumentarfilm, der Besucher während der Ausstellung "Vernichtungskrieg. Verbrechen der Wehrmacht 1941 bis 1944" im Herbst 1995 in Wien beobachtet, ihre Gespräche belauscht, sich von Zeit zu Zeit in die Diskussionen einmischt und einige zu ihren Erinnerungen befragt. Dabei geht es letztlich weniger um die Kriegsverbrechen von einst als um den - oft disparaten - heutigen Umgang mit dieser Vergangenheit. So ist eher ein Gegenwarts- als ein Geschichtsfilm entstanden, der dank seines konsequent durchgehaltenen Konzepts stets spannungsvoll ist und zum Nachdenken herausfordert. - Ab 14 möglich.

    Abstract: A wager between God and Satan has dire consequences in this allegory based on the play by Jacob Gordin about the material world's false promises. Beware when money sounds sweeter than music, it cautions; those who win lotteries stand to lose all, including their spiritual treasures, families, communities and religion. Poor, pious Torah scribe Hershele Dubrovner has a life that glorifies God until Satan, disguised as a business partner, turns him into a greedy, dishonest factory owner whose success desecrates both his religion and his community. Betrayal and abandonment replace serenity and familiarity; the instruments of good fortune become instruments of death. Not even music, previously Hershele's joy, can heal these rifts. If the character of Hershele Dubrovner reminds some of Faust and others of Job, its no coincidence as "God, Man and Devil" combines elements of both stories. The wager at the center of the story is that for all his piety, the scribe can be corrupted - not by suffering (as in Job's case) or by the temptation of wealth (as in Faust's case), but by worldly good fortune itself. As the plot develops, Hershele amply confirms Satan's expectations, only to realize the gravity of his error after it is too later to rectify it. It is a simple morality play, timeless even though addressed in its specifics to a particular audience. [jewishfilm.org]

    Abstract: "The Wandering Jew" tells the story of Arthur Levi (Jacob Ben-Ami), a German-Jewish artist who experiences the new German antisemitism when his masterpiece, a portrait of his Polish-born father entitled "The Eternal Wanderer" is rejected by the Berlin Academy of Art, which also asks his resignation as professor. Later in the film the figure in the painting comes to life and tells Levi the story of the persecution of the Jewish people. The film ends with footage of an anti-Hitler rally at New York City's Madison Square Garden and Levi's resolve to bear onward in the face of adversity. "The Wandering Jew" is a unique find: the first American feature film to depict the situation of Jews in Nazi Germany, and the only Yiddish-language film of its era to address this subject. The film, which dramatizes the situation of German Jews, was an American-Jewish response to the Nazi regime. It was produced by Jewish American Film Arts at the Atlas Studio on Long Island, NY during the summer of 1933, just months after the Nazi rise to power in Germany. In the wake of the violence of Kristallnacht the film was given a December 1938 re-release under the title "Jews in Exile", screening in RKO theaters all over the New York area. [www.nywift.org]

    Abstract: "The Living Orphan" is a dramatic tale of hardship that highlights some of the traumatic problems of the immigrant experience, including alcoholism, separation and poverty. The child star, Jerry Rosenberg (Ross) gives a memorable performance as the son Benny and the film introduces two European stars Fanina Rubina and Gustav Berger. The plot centers on the story of a stage couple that develops marital problems due to the demands of the theatre. The husband, whose career is failing, insists that the wife stay home to tend their young son. The subplot focuses on the plight of a woman who chooses her career over family obligations. Set in New York in the 1930's, the film contains some interesting street shots of the Lower East Side and a marvelous scene in the Bialystoker Old Folks Home. One of the best Second Avenue Yiddish theatre domestic melodramas produced in New York City just prior to World War II, the film provides a wonderful example of the sentimental dramas created to entertain and educate the immigrant community.
