    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.

    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.

    Abstract: Februar 2002. Der Filmemacher Doug Block, Ende vierzig, lebt mit seiner Familie in New York. Seine Eltern wohnten noch immer auf Long Island, vierzig Minuten von New York entfernt, in dem Haus, in dem Doug geboren wurde. Allen ging es gut, doch dann starb plötzlich seine Mutter, der Doug Block immer viel näher stand als dem Vater. Das ist der erste Schock. Drei Monate später ruft Dougs Vater an und verkündet, dass er seine frühere Sekretärin Kitty heiraten, das Haus auf Long Island verkaufen und nach Florida ziehen wolle. Das ist der zweite Schock. Und dann folgt der dritte: Doug und seine beiden Schwestern kehren ein letztes Mal in ihr Elternhaus zurück, um beim Ausräumen zu helfen und sich vielleicht eine Erinnerung an die Kindheit auszusuchen. Dabei wird klar, wie viel von ihrer Mutter noch immer in diesem Haus steckt: Tausende Fotos, Dias, Gedichte, Kurzgeschichten und vor allem Briefe, Karten und Tagebücher aus über dreißig Jahren. Innerhalb von zwei Wochen wird Doug Blocks Elternhaus verkauft sein, alles, was einmal seiner Mutter gehörte, wird in Müllsäcken landen, und sein Vater viele Kilometer weit weg leben. Vierzehn Tage bleiben dem Filmemacher Doug Block, um diese Fremden, die seine Eltern waren, kennenzulernen und um vielleicht mit seinem Vater Frieden zu schließen. "51 Birch Street - Das Haus meiner Eltern" hatte seine Festivalpremiere beim Internationalen Filmfestival Toronto 2005. Der Dokumentarfilm wurde vom "Toronto Star" als "autobiografische Dokumentarfilm-Sensation" gefeiert und von "Variety" als "Triumph des Geschichtenerzählens" bezeichnet. Über dreißig Festivals weltweit - von Amsterdam bis Washington, von Edinburgh bis Qatar - haben den Dokumentarfilm bisher in ihr Programm aufgenommen. Sie prägt uns, sie nervt uns und wir brauchen sie trotzdem: die Familie. Sie gilt als Lebensform im Umbruch und als Auslaufmodell. Trotz dieses Wandels ist jeder stark von familiären Beziehungen beeinflusst - von intakten genauso wie von gebrochenen. Was wissen erwachsene Kinder tatsächlich über ihre Eltern? Wie gehen Familien mit einer traumatischen Vergangenheit um? Und was ist, wenn man plötzlich Abschied nehmen muß von den Menschen, die einem am vertrautesten sind?

    Abstract: Once upon a time there really was a Yiddish vaudeville and it was amply documented on 78-rpm records for subsidiaries of major labels specializing in ethnic recordings. And the sounds spread in totally unpredictable ways, so you have Yiddish songs being covered by Cab Calloway, Mildred Bailey and Slim Gaillard. Leave it to Henry Sapoznik (and Michael Brooks) to revive this tradition with a stunning collection of 50 recordings that showcase everyone from Cab to Molly Picon, from Jolson to Benny Goodman, with some amazing finds like previously unissued cuts from Jolie and Gene Krupa. If these two CDs did nothing but preserve great numbers from Pesachke Burstein and Aaron Lebedeff, they'd be worth having. Beautifully restored by Harry Coster and remastered by Darcy Popper, with startlingly sumptuous sound. This is just flat-out great music.
    Abstract: The two-disc set is a song-by-song introduction (...) how Jewish pop became American pop, how klezmer became Yiddish swing became jazz, how Abe Schwartz's "Der Shtiller Bulgar" became Benny Goodman's "When the Angels Sing," how Secunda's 1932 Yiddish-theater staple "Bei mir bistu sheyn" became Sammy Cahn & Saul Chaplin's all-American Andrews Sister anthem "Bei mir bist Du schoen".

    Abstract: Rare film footage, vintage photos, sound recordings, and informative interviews combine to tell the story of the building of Chicago's Jewish community and its impact on the "Windy City." Highlighted is the role of the early German-Jewish settlers in the development of some of the city's major cultural institutions, the arrival of Jews from Eastern Europe and the founding in Chicago of several national Jewish organizations. One of the most moving segments is the actual film footage of the Jewish community's spectacular pageant, "Romance of a People," presented during the Century of Progress Exposition in 1933. Produced by the Chicago Jewish Historical Society, the video also features delightful musical selections performed by the Maxwell Street Klezmer Band.

    Abstract: In this extraordinarily intimate film, seven years in the making, we are taken into the depths of the Hasidim's joyous, sometimes harsh, and often beautiful world. With their use of Yiddish, their distinctive clothes and their strick observance to Jewish ritual and law, the Hasidim are considered by many an insular people with little connection to mainstream America. And yet their values are those that many Americans find most precious: family, community and a life of meaning.

    Abstract: "Jewish Princess", a humorous look at Jewish stereotyping, attracted attention from the Anti-Defamation League, to which Zappa denied an apology, arguing: "Well, I didn't make up the idea of a Jewish Princess. They exist, so I wrote a song about them".

    Keywords: Buddhismus ; Dokumentarfilm ; Juden ; USA
    Abstract: This film examines the dramatic surge of interest among American Jews in the spiritual teachings of Buddhism. Jews, who make up 2% of the population, account for some 30% of non-Asian American Buddhists. Many of them are among the leading expositors and scholars of Buddhism in America. In practice, traditional Jewish ritual and liturgy are being modified in synagogues and among individuals seeking to incorporate the teachings of Buddhism into their spiritual lives. Jews and Buddhism is the first film to interrogate in depth the reasons for this phenomenon, explore it in the context of 20th century Jewish-American life, and consider its impact on contemporary Jewish thought and practice. This documentary, named "one of the outstanding documentaries of 1999." by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, is narrated by Sharon Stone, and includes rare footage of the Dalai Lama, spiritual leader of Tibet, as well as David Ben Gurion, Alan Ginsberg, Sylvia Boorstein, Rabbi Alan Lew, and many others. The film has appeared on PBS and the History channel as well as over 50 film festivals worldwide. In addition, it is in widespread educational distribution.
