- May 135:30 PMFilm: "The Catskills" (2024) (Part of the Michiana Jewish Film Festival)Evoking the golden era of the Borscht Belt, this affectionate and nostalgic homage vibrantly showcases the humor, heritage, and spirit of the Jewish-American saga at the iconic Catskills summer resorts. Over the 20th century, the mountains north of New York City became lively havens for Jewish families, both working-class and affluent, famed for lavish buffets and nightclubs that fostered rising comic and musical talent. Entertaining anecdotes from performers, waiters, and resort guests, plus a wealth of archival material, evoke the vintage spirit of these iconic retreats, symbols of Yiddishkeit heritage and refuges from antisemitism. This delightful time capsule highlights the Catskills as a cultural touchstone and a crucible of the Jewish-American saga. GET TICKETS
- May 138:00 PMFilm: "Kidnapped" (2023) (Part of the Michiana Jewish Film Festival)This provocative, richly staged period drama set in 19th-century Italy, and based on true events, recounts the abduction and forced Christian conversion of a Jewish boy by Papal decree, igniting global outrage. In 1858 Bologna, young Edgardo is taken from his family and sent to Rome to become Catholic. Despite his parents' desperate pleas and public furor, Pope Pius IX stands firm. The struggle to reclaim their son echoes Italy's burgeoning nationalism and challenges the Vatican's power. Directed by the legendary Marco Bellocchio, this epic artfully contrasts clashes of faith with a nation teetering on revolution. GET TICKETS
- May 148:00 PMFilm: "Seven Blessings" (2023) (Part of the Michiana Jewish Film Festival)In this bittersweet dramedy that swept the Israeli Academy Awards with 10 wins, including Best Film, a boisterous Moroccan-Jewish clan reunites for a cross-cultural wedding that surfaces festering secrets. In early '90s Jerusalem, a diverse family celebrates a Moroccan-Jewish bride and French-Ashkenazi groom's union, infusing the occasion with joy, laughter, and a vibrant mix of languages. Yet, as the Seven Blessings ritual unfolds — a week of festive meals honoring the newlyweds — the facade cracks, exposing deep-seated wounds rooted in ancient traditions. With a top Israeli cast and inspired by the filmmaker's multiethnic background, this authentic, enveloping tale delves into a complex web of relationships, culture, and forgiveness amid clashing interpretations of shared memories.
