Join the DMV Bund for another Yiddish movie night and potluck!
We’ll be a showing the 1937 classic Green Fields (Grine Felder), by a leading Yiddish director based on a play by one of the great Yiddish playwrights. Yiddish proficiency is not required, there will be English subtitles. After the film we will have some time for discussion.
“Ulmer’s soulful, open-air adaptation of Peretz Hirshbein’s classic play heralded the Golden Age of Yiddish cinema. When an ascetic young scholar ventures into the countryside, searching for the city of “true Jews,” he learns some unexpected lessons from the Jewish peasants who take him in as a tutor for their children.”
We encourage folks to bring dairy or pareve food to share for a potluck dinner beforehand.
We also welcome donations to help cover the cost of the space, on a pay-what-you-can basis (suggested $10-$15).
