Film Club
Film Club
Do you like movies? Do you enjoy watching and discussing Jewish films but don’t always have the chance? CDT members gather on Zoom (and in members’ homes when it becomes safe to do so again!) generally on the second Saturday of each month to watch and discuss moving and thought-provoking Jewish films from around the world. Many of the films have been featured in recent Jewish film
festivals.
Everyone is welcome to attend one or all films, so in that sense it’s not actually a club. We hope you'll join us!
Please note that dates and films are subject to change. Contact Emily Sper at filmclub@dorsheitzedek.org with questions, film suggestions, or if you’d like to lead a discussion about a particular film.

Upcoming Films:
January 14: Beyond the Bolex (2018, 1 hr 34 min): When visionary Jewish immigrant Jacques Bolsey invents the Bolex in the 1920's, he puts the first home movie camera in the hands of everyday folks, fomenting a film revolution that still inspires artists to this day. Nearly a century later, Alyssa Bolsey uncovers his long lost archive and journeys to discover the man behind the machine through his personal and professional struggles.
February 11: Life, Animated (2016, 1 hr 31 min): From Academy Award winning director Roger Ross Williams, Life, Animated is the inspirational story of Owen Suskind, a young man who was unable to speak as a child until he and his family discovered a unique way to communicate by immersing themselves in the world of classic Disney animated films.
March 11: TBD
