Uniform Title: Tevye

Keywords: DVD-Video

Abstract: Maurice Schwartz's adaptation of the classic Sholem Aleichem play centers on Khave, Tevye the Dairyman's daughter, who falls in love with Fedye, the son of a Ukrainian peasant. Her courtship and marriage pit Tevye's love for his daughter against his deep-seated faith and loyalty to tradition. The clash between tradition and modernity, parental authority and love, customs and enlightenment are foreshadowed by the antisemitism of the rural community. Tevye's world is a microcosm of the larger world of Russian Jewry in the early 1900s. [www.jewishfilm.org]

Uniform Title: Mir kumen on

Keywords: DVD-Video

Abstract: Directed by Lodz native Aleksander Ford and financed by the Jewish Labor movement in Poland, "Children Must Laugh" is one of the few surviving documentaries about Jewish life in Poland before WWII. This institutional film was produced to raise funds for the Vladimir Medem Sanitarium which, noted for its modern and spacious facilities, stood as the embodiment of health and enlightenment, in striking contrast to the grim images of urban Polish-Jewish poverty. The sanitarium's theme song, "Mir Kumen On (Here We Come)," punctuates the film with a sense of hope and accomplishment. The Bund's optimistic internationalism, exemplified by the children's endearing performances, permeates the film, creating powerful yet unintended ironies for post-Holocaust audiences.

Uniform Title: Der Dibuk

Keywords: DVD-Video

Abstract: "The Dybbuk" is a Yiddish film classic based on the celebrated play of the same name by S. Ansky, written during the turbulent years of 1912-1917. The idea for the play came to Ansky as he led a Jewish folklore expedition through small towns of Eastern Europe, which was cut short by the outbreak of World War I. The Dybbuk reflects Ansky's deep perception of the shtetl's religious and cultural mores, as well as his insightful appreciation of its hidden spiritual resources. Plans to produce the play in Russian by Stanislavsky's Moscow Art Theater in 1920 were aborted by the Bolshevik Revolution. Ansky, who died in 1920 never lived to see his play produced. The play however, was destined to become one of the most widely-produced in the history of Jewish theater. Its rich ethnographic tapestry, mystical themes, star-crossed lovers and haunting melodies were designed to bridge the historical abyss. Boundaries separating the natural from the supernatural dissolve as ill-fated pledges, unfulfilled passions and untimely deaths ensnare two families in a tragic labyrinth of spiritual possession. The film was made on location in Poland in 1937 and brought together the best talents of Polish Jewry, script writers, composers, choreographers, set designers, actors and historical advisors. The film's exquisite musical and dance interludes evoke the cultural richness of both shtetl communities and Polish Jewry on the eve of World War II. [www.jewishfilm.org]

Uniform Title: NATAN - L'histoire effacée d'un génie du cinéma

Keywords: DVD-Video

Abstract: Die unglaubliche Geschichte eines aus Rumänien stammenden jüdischen Unternehmers, der 1907 nach Frankreich einwanderte und in den 20er Jahren die gesamte französische Filmindustrie beherrschte. Bernard Natan eröffnete Hunderte Kinos im ganzen Land. Nach Aberkennung der französischen Staatsbürgerschaft wurde er 1942 nach Auschwitz deportiert und dort ermordet ... Tragisch ist vor allem auch, dass einer der mächtigsten französischen Filmproduzenten fast völlig aus dem kollektiven Gedächtnis verschwunden wäre, hätten nicht zwei irische Regisseure seinen abenteuerlichen und risikofreudigen Lebensweg in den Mittelpunkt dieses spannenden Dokumentarfilms gestellt.Wie konnte eine solche Persönlichkeit vergessen und so radikal aus der offiziellen Geschichtsschreibung gestrichen werden? Mit zahlreichen Filmausschnitten, reichem Archivmaterial und dank sehr aufschlussreicher Interviews unter anderem mit Natans Enkelin haben David Cairns und Paul Duane das berührende Porträt des Natan Tannenzaft alias Bernard Natan geschaffen: ein Film gegen das Vergessen über einen Kinopionier und Visionär aus den Anfängen der Filmgeschichte.
