This aint yo bubbie’s shtick!
Mad props to Israeli filmmaker Dan Katzir. Dan’s most recent film,”Yiddish Theater: A Love Story” is getting major press, including a front page spread and an article in the LA Times.
The film opened in late November and has been going strong and gaining more of an audience with all the rave reviews.
“‘As one of the characters in the movie says, ‘We live in a “Seinfeld” society,’ where everything is fast and quick and edgy but not very emotional,’ Katzir says. ‘Meeting her and the [other actors], they’re funny, but they’re not cynical. This is an ode for this lost and disappearing culture, which still has something to teach all of us about the beauty of emotions.'” (LA Times, 2008)
Dan Katzir’s acclaimed films won 22 International awards in the US, Europe and Asia and a nomination for the Israeli Academy Award. His films were shown in hundreds of film festivals and in many prestigious TV stations around the world. His film “Out for love…be back shortly” became an instant classic expressing the voice of his generation and becoming the most important film about the Rabin era in Israel.

And hey, if you are in the LA area tonight, he’s throwing a party to celebrate the press. All you need is a ticket stub from the film! So go see the film and hit up the party which is at The Dime at 442 N Fairfax Ave.
Mazel tov, Dan!
