As people are living longer, the emotional life of senior citizens
has become fertile ground for filmmakers. A case in point is Israeli
filmmaker Barak Heymann's "Dancing Alfonso," which explores a Tel
Aviv man's participation in a flamenco dance class for seniors.
The 50-minute film (in Hebrew, Spanish, French and Moroccan with
English subtitles), will be shown at noon on Tuesday, March 31, in
the Pickford Theater, located on the third floor of the Library's
James Madison Building at 101 Independence Ave. S.E., Washington,
D.C. Ruth Diskin, the film's distributor, will deliver remarks and
answer questions at the conclusion of the screening.
The program, which is sponsored jointly by the Library's Motion
Picture, Broadcasting and Recorded Sound Division , the Hebrew
Language Table, and the Israeli Embassy, is free and open to the
public. Tickets are not required.
"Dancing Alfonso," which won the Silver Asian Award at the Shanghai
International TV Festival in 2008, is part of the Library's
continuing Israeli Film Series. In the film, the protagonist uses
dance to express the alternating emotions of hope and rage of a man
about to lose his wife to illness.
