Featuring Guest Speaker Moshe Lobel from the cast of SHTTL
A Jewish village in Ukraine, bordering Poland, is on the verge of being taken over by Nazis. While drawing a vibrant canvas of a community that has many differing reactions to the impending tragedy, this astonishing film is made in what appears to be one continuous shot, the camera never stopping as it explores the rich world that it creates. The dialogue is almost entirely in Yiddish, and the film is mostly in black-and-white. SHTTL features a top-notch cast, led by Moshe Lobel, who was a featured cast member in Joel Grey's recent Yiddish stage production in New York of Fiddler on the Roof.
