In a single unflinching shot\, the film vividly portrays the life of a Yiddish village in the hours before the German invasion of Soviet Ukraine in 1941. The re turn of aspiring filmmaker Mendele (Lobel) from a secular life in Kyiv to claim the woman he loves exposes the simmering tensions between tradition and modernity in a town\, and a world\, on the brink of extinction. Filmed in Ukraine prior to the 2022 full-scale Russian invasion\, in a fully bui lt ‘shtetl’ recreated for the production\, this original work of filmm aking evokes clear parallels with the present day. It is in Yiddish with E nglish subtitles.\n\nThe Q&\;A with Moshe Lobel (pictured left) followi ng the screening will be moderated by Dr. Elissa Nelson\, professor of fil m at Bronx Community College – CUNY.\n\nPlease come for a buffet breakfa st starting at 9:30 am. The program and screening will begin promptly at 1 0 am.\nRSVP HERE\n\n\n\n \;\n\nhttps://youtu.be/wniuyaDGCGo\n\n"EXTRAO RDINARY... AN AMAZING FILM! It recreates\, in a way I’ve rarely seen\, j ust how life in the shtetl might have been. To hear words they used around the Friday night table is both a joy and a ghostly feeling." - Jason Solo mons\, The New European 10 out of 10\n\n"A MASTERPIECE! Insightful\, beaut iful\, and completely unforgettable. This monumental film feels vital not only as an absolutely essential Jewish film but as an exquisite testament to those beautiful lives that never came to be." - Barry Levitt\, /Film (S lashfilm) ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.wjcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2025 /10/SHTTL-Screening-Kristallnacht.png CATEGORIES:Adult Education,Featured Events END:VEVENT BEGIN:VTIMEZONE TZID:America/New_York X-LIC-LOCATION:America/New_York BEGIN:STANDARD DTSTART:20251102T010000 TZOFFSETFROM:-0400 TZOFFSETTO:-0500 TZNAME:EST END:STANDARD END:VTIMEZONE END:VCALENDAR
