To the members of Mendele. Sholem Aleichem. My name is Ben Gonshor I'm a filmmaker and I recently co-wrote and produced a feature length documentary about the first ever international Yiddish theatre festival that took place in Montreal in 2009. That festival was the first of its kind in the history of Yiddish culture which, by extension, makes the film special because its the only one of its kind as well. I think it's an important historical document, educational tool and entertaining as well. The film premiered in May of last year at the L.A. Jewish Film Festival. It's now availale on DVD. You can read more about the film, the filmmakers, press previews and view a clip at our website www.mendingthetorncurtain.com<http://www.mendingthetorncurtain.com/> I hope the readers of Mendele will be interested in purchasing a copy of the film either for personal use or for educational purposes. The individual price for the DVD is $20 The institutional price for the DVD is $150 If interested, copies can be purchased directly from our website at this link http://mendingthetorncurtain.com/orders/ or you can be in touch with me directly by emailing me at [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> A sheynem dank, Ben ____________________________________________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
