August 12, Soviet Yiddish Writers Commemoration
| |
VOICES FROM THE SILENCE:
CELEBRATING YIDDISH CREATIVITY IN THE (FORMER) SOVIET UNION
AUGUST 12, 5 pm
Special screening of the rarely seen silent film masterpiece,
"Jewish Luck" ("Yidishe Glik")
Starring the great Shloyme Mikhoels
introduced by NPR and LA Times film critic Kenneth Turan
Based on the Sholem Aleichem classic satire, "Adventures of Menachem Mendl".
With text by Isaak Babel. Directed by the famous Russian film directorAlexander Granovsky. (90 min., with English translation)
Organized by CIYCL, Workmen's Circle, Yiddishkayt LA and co-sponsored by several local Jewish organizations, this program commemorates the 60th anniversary of the murder by the USSR of 13 foremost Yiddish writers and intellectuals (August 1952).
This amazing film not only features the work of the most popular Yiddish author of that time and today (Sholem Aleichem), but also manages to poke fun at shadkhns (matchmakers), insurance salesmen, Czarist Russia, and capitalism, while showing some remarkable images of Moscow and shtetl life, and dream imagery you will never forget.
Admission: Free
