The first public screening of the new Yiddish film with English subtitles, When Our Bubbas and Zeydas Were Young - The Schaechter Sisters on Stage, featuring Di Shekhter-tekhter (Reyna and Temma Schaechter) will be shown tomorrow evening, Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 7:30 PM sharp, at Haverford College, 370 Lancaster Ave, Haverford PA 19041, in the Chase Hall Auditorium. Admission: free. All are welcome! (If you can't make it, you can still order the DVD. See below.) The film is directed and produced by Academy-Award-nominated documentary filmmaker Josh Waletzky. The film has been selected for the Ashkenaz Festival in Toronto, Miami Jewish Film Festival and the Montreal International Yiddish Theatre Festival. It is expected that Binyumen Schaechter, Musical Director and Executive Producer of the film and father of Di Shekhter-tekhter will be on hand for the Haverford Screening. If so, part of the documentary film / concert video will be screened and then Schaechter will talk about the making of the film and answer questions. And copies of the DVD will then be available for purchase after the film. If Schaechter is not able to make it in from NYC (following Hurricane Sandy), the entire film will be screened. Either way, it will be worth the trip for this event. Directions below. If you can't make it to the screening, you can order the DVD from the Distributor, Ergo Media, http://ergomedia.com/ Phone: 201-692-0404 [email protected] PO Box 2037, Teaneck, NJ 07666-1437 Directions to the Haverford screening: If arriving by car, enter the campus by the College Avenue entrance, and park in any spot marked FACULTY/STAFF on the right of the driveway. To find Chase Hall, continue on the driveway until you reach the end of the building on your left (Stokes Hall). Turn left and follow the path up a gentle slope to a stone building with a few steps outside its double-door entrance–– this is Chase Hall. We’re in the first floor in the back of the building. There is an entrance without steps around the right hand side. For more information: see our website http://www.haverford.edu/ycf/ or contact Jeff Tecosky-Feldman ([email protected]). This event is part of Haverford College's "Yiddish Culture Festival 2012", in memoriam Seth Brody. This free, informal gathering meets periodically to enjoy film, music and speakers encompassing all things Yiddish. It is not necessary to speak or understand Yiddish to fully enjoy these events. Meetings are held Wednesdays at 7:30pm (promptly!) in Chase Hall Auditorium. Organizers: Professors Dan Gillis, Mel Santer, Jeff Tecosky-Feldman. ___________________________________________________________ Please do not use the "reply" key when writing to Mendele.
