Sidney Turtlebaum is a bittersweet comedy set in present day Golders Green, the heart of London’s Jewish community. Sidney (Sir Derek Jacobi) is an elderly con man who sneaks into funerals, distracts the crowd with songs and tales of the deceased . . . and steals from them. When Sidney meets young, wide-eyed Gabriel (Rupert Evans), he takes him under his wing. They enjoy a rollicking journey across London, one tinged with pain and regret. In English
Zipper
Ritch-Ratch
New England Premiere
Director: Asaph Polonsky, Israel, 2008, 35 min., Short Narrative, Video Somewhere in Israel, Yaki is under house arrest. A builder, he’s assaulted one of his workers, who is now in rehab. Walls full of jigsaw puzzle landscapes and medicine cabinets full of tranquilizers reflect Yaki’s time alone. When Yaki learns his son is flying to Israel for his Bar Mitzvah, all he wants is to be present at the ceremony. Just in case, he lets a persistent neighbor take his picture – over and over again. And that’s when everything happens. Hebrew with subtitles
