FilmTalk 2008/2009: Jews: Heroes and Stars
A lecture series organised by the Leo Baeck Institute London and The Wiener Library
FilmTalk 2008/9 focused on the theme of Jews: Heroes and Stars.
FilmTalk examined mainstream feature films and art house films from the perspective of contemporary Jewish history. What vision of Jewish masculinity is offered by Paul Newman in Exodus? What kind of Jewishness is played out by Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl and other films that made her a star? And what is so special about a musical set in the borscht-belt, like Dirty Dancing?
