 Tuesday, December 15, 2009 Arab Labor (Avoda Aravit) 7:30pm, JCC Hart Theatre Director: Dani Faran, Israel, 2007, 3 episodes-26 min. each, Arabic/Hebrew w/ subtitles A huge hit at this summer's Ames-Amzalak Rochester Jewish Film Festival, Arab Labor returns with three more hysterical episodes (#3 Kindergarten, #7 Loyalty, #9 Meet the Parents). Don't miss this groundbreaking and wildly funny prime-time Israeli TV show, the first ever to feature an Arab Israeli family. Amjad is a reporter for a Hebrew-language newspaper whose hilarious attempts to assimilate into mainstream Israeli society expose prejudices and stereotypes on both sides of the country's Jewish-Arab divide. Stars Salim Daw (James' Journey to Jerusalem) and Clara Khoury (Syrian Bride), among others. A milestone on Israeli TV that has been called the Israeli Seinfeld! Don't miss it. The Rochester Jewish Film Festival turns 10 next year! Visit rjff.org for special announcements and ... save the dates, July 25 - August 2, 2010! Back to BOOK FESTIVAL SCHEDULE » |
