November 5: Manhattan: ‘Looking For Zion’
Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
The Other Israel Film Festival continues with a look back at Zionism in the 1930s.
Join Forward editor-at-large J.J. Goldberg for the U.S. premiere of “Looking For Zion,” a documentary directed by Tamara Erde. Inspired by photographs taken by her Zionist grandfather, she finds herself on a journey, discovering the decisions and reasons behind his images. It leads her to take a more in-depth look at the history of the Zionist dream.
Goldberg will moderate a Q&A with Erde following the screening, at 8:30 p.m. November 5 at the Marlene Meyerson JCC in Manhattan.
