Jewish jazz musician Arne Itkin realizes that he must flee to safety in Sweden with his wife and 5-year old son. They hear that they can sail across the strait to Sweden but don’t know if they can rely on the fishermen they hear might be able to save them. Who can they trust when Gestapo and Danish collaborators are on their heels to stop anyone from fleeing the country? DIRECTOR: NICOLO DONATO Nominated for Denmark’s Bodi Awards and Robert Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role, Best Actress in a Supporting Role, Best Production Design, Best Score, Blockbuster Audience Award Sponsors: Barbara Glick, Barbara & Jerry Lewin, Elissa Spiro ANTENNA Drama | Israel (2016) | 100 minutes SHOWTIME: THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1:15 PM (Hebrew with English Subtitles) – Shown with Ave Maria East Coast US Premiere SYNOPSIS: Yehoshua, an 84 year old Holocaust survivor, discovers a cellular antenna on the roof of his two-family home. It turns out that his neighbor has rented out his part of the roof to the cell phone company. Yehoshua believes that all his ailments are caused by radiation from the antenna and his feelings escalate into obsession as he wages war with his neighbor. His wife and three grown sons are unwillingly swept into the fray, revealing their personal problems and forcing them to confront their father’s shadow. Antenna is an engaging family drama sprinkled with humor that paints a picture of the Jewish mentality with both love and reproach. On another, deeper level, it reflects the political situation in Israel, and how Israeli’s carry the burden of history into their private lives. This is the first feature film from veteran TV Director Arik Rotstein. DIRECTOR: ARIK ROTSTEIN Haifa International Film Festival - 2016 Best Editing Award; Warsaw Film Festival - Selection Sponsors: Carolyn Rockoff, Jeanne & Kenneth Fibus 6 AVE MARIA Comedic Short| West Bank (2015) | 15 minutes SHOWTIME: THURSDAY, MARCH 23, 1:15 PM (Hebrew with English Subtitles) - Shown with Antenna SYNOPSIS: The silent routine of 5 nuns in the middle of the West Bank wilderness is disrupted when a family of Israelis come knocking at their door for help after crashing their car into the convent’s wall. Unable to use the telephone due to Sabbath restrictions, the family needs help from the nuns who have taken a vow of silence. Together, they come up with an unorthodox plan to help the Israelis.

Among the few possessions he brought with him was a recipe, and Montrealers, as well as tourists to the city, are forever grateful. The recipe was for a simple yet divine hand-rolled, honey-water-boiled, wood-fire baked bagel. And so Fairmount Bagel came into being nestled between shops in a residential neighborhood in French Montreal in a quiet brownstone building - an old converted house with a wood fired oven in the back. Isadore passed the torch to his son Jack, who, in turn, passed it to his son, Irwin, who now runs the place with the same attention to detail at the Fairmount Avenue Bakery. DIRECTORS: JONATHAN KEIJSER & DANIEL BERESH Sponsors: Leon & Leona Brauser, Dorothy Gold, Estelle Schwartz 7 BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS AND THE HILLS Drama | Israel (2016) | 90 minutes SHOWTIME: TUESDAY, MARCH 21, 7:00 PM (Hebrew with English Subtitles) Palm Beach County Premiere SYNOPSIS: A compelling, intelligent feature about an Israeli family in crisis. Having retired after 27 years of military service, David faces uncertainty regarding his new civilian identity. He returns to his family and tries to find himself in his new civilian life when a friend suggests working as a salesman. David sees this as an opportunity to get his foot in the door and make something of himself. His decision slowly gets him and his family entangled in a series of events that force them to face the unknown.

Its theme was dutifully encapsulated for the 600 pastors in attendance in Fullerton Theological Seminary President Mark Labberton’s assertion that “Christians who call themselves Zionists are the enemies of God.” Fullerton has two campuses in California, three in Washington State and one each in Texas and Arizona. Any further doubt about where Christ at the Checkpoint 2016 was heading should have been put to rest by the scene at the conference’s inaugural portrayed by Christian Zionist Brian Schrauger, a free-lance journalist living in Bethlehem-adjoining Bet Jalla, who has covered these events for the Jerusalem Post and New York-based Jewish Press, among others.

  • Adopted Colors: Domesticity and Foreign Nationalism in Elizabeth Barrett Browning and George Eliot
    ADOPTED COLORS: DOMESTICITY AND FOREIGN NATIONALISM IN ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING AND GEORGE ELIOT A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Hyowon Kim August 2007 ©2007 Hyowon Kim ADOPTED COLORS: DOMESTICITY AND FOREIGN NATIONALISM IN ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING AND GEORGE ELIOT Hyowon Kim, Ph.D. Cornell University 2007 The dissertation explores the trope of lost and recovered children in the narratives of nationalism by Victorian women writers excluded from political participation. Bringing together the narratives of fragmented family and divided allegiance, my project focuses on how women writers constructed an imagined connection with other people's nationalism by subverting deracinated fantasy to explore the tensions between the individual and racial inheritance. Examining the cultural construction of Italians, Gypsies, and Jews in the British nineteenth century, this dissertation investigates the "timeless" fantasies of artistic freedom, liberation, and tolerance associated with landless "dark Others" that contrast with their historical marginalization in England. What appeal to Barrett Browning and Eliot, are not escape from racial inheritance, but the pressing duties of the lost child to preserve history and identity, as she negotiates a role of political leadership that constrains her private choices. Inspired by the struggle of her adopted country to overthrow Austrian rule, Elizabeth Barrett Browning envisioned a national future of Italy in Casa Guidi Windows. Following the fictionalized travel writing of Anna Jameson and Arthur Hugh Clough that attempts to avoid politics in favor of art, I argue that by constructing kinship through Anglo-Italian literary tradition, Barrett Browning advocates the Italian revolutions of 1848 as liberal politics demanding English sympathy through spiritual inheritance.

  • If Truth Be Told Kirchick and Young Tried to Mug Me and They Have Knowingly Originated a Pack of Lies About the Frontline Club Says Vaughan Smith
    30/03/2016, 15:34 If Truth Be Told Kirchick and Young tried to mug me and they have knowingly originated a pack of lies about the Frontline Club says Vaughan Smith Vaughan Smith Toby Young argues for Brexit at the Frontline Club where his views are welcome to be heard. Joris Luyendijk, Annalisa Prias, Gavin Hewitt, Toby Young and Natelie Nougayrède. © Tolly Robinson 2016 Jon Swain, veteran journalist, author and Frontline Club member, told me an astounding story last week. As a young reporter in Paris in the 1960s, he had a girlfriend named Sylvia Raphael who was a brilliant and glamorous photojournalist. Only later did he learn that she was a Mossad assassin in the hit team that gunned down an innocent Moroccan waiter in Lillehammer, Norway. Swain is taking part in a documentary about her, which is why he happened to mention it to me. Another Frontline member, Edward Giradet, went to Afghanistan in September 2001 to interview Ahmed Shah Masud. He had to leave before the interview for his wife’s birthday. Among the reporters waiting there were two Al-Qaeda terrorists posing as a film crew. They detonated a bomb in their camera, killing Masud, themselves and everyone nearby – the prelude to 9/11. Swain’s and Girardet’s experiences are not unusual among members of the Frontline. Spies and terrorists use the media. ISIS are experts at social media. The British government’s obsession with “narratives” costs the British taxpayer a small fortune. There are five times as many PR functionaries as journalists in this country, and PR pays a lot better.
