2009 Boston Jewish Film Festival & WIFV/NE Present: Killing Kasztner: The Jew Who Dealt With Nazis
Thursday, November 12th, 6pm A Hungarian Jew who saved nearly 1700 Jews during WWII by striking a deal with the Nazis, Reszo Kasztner's legacy has been mixed. In Israel, following his loss of a libel suit as "the man who sold his soul to the Devil," he was subsequently assassinated. Documentary filmmaker Gaylen Ross (Blood Money: Switzerland's Nazi Gold, 1997 Festival) succeeds in making Kasztner's killer speak candidly, for the first time in 50 years. She effectively puts Kasztner's trial in its historical context and helps his family find some measure of solace. Premiered at the 2008 Haifa International Film Festival.

WIFV/NE's Annual Member Meeting
FALL 2008 Magners Irish Film Festival & WIFV/NE Present: AT HOME WITH THE CLEARYS Director: Alison Millar Winner, Best Documentary NOVEMBER 15th, 2008
ABOUT THE FILM Buried under concrete and controversy on the outskirts AT HOME WITH THE CLEARYS paints a compelling picture Tickets: $8 For more information, visit: http://www.irishfilmfestival.com/BIFFhome.html Boston Jewish Film Festival & WIFV/NE Present: PHYLLIS AND HAROLD Director: Cindy Kleine NOVEMBER 16th, 2008 Boston Premier! Director will be present for Q&A
ABOUT THE FILM Filmmaker Ken Burns (“Jazz”) calls Cindy Kleine’s frank and fearless chronicle of her parents’ disastrous 59 year marriage "a masterpiece.” Drawing on a lifetime of family home movies and 12 years’ worth of interviews, Kleine uncovers family secrets and tells a story that could not be shown publicly when her father was still alive. The film reflects years of work on Kleine’s part, beginning with her short film, ‘Til Death Do Us Part, shown in our 2001 Festival. For more information, visit: http://www.bjff.org/upcoming_list_details.php?series_id=534 WIFV/NE & MIT Program in Women's and Gender Studies presents CHICKS MAKE FLICKS FIFTH ANNIVERSARY SCREENING: THE AXE IN THE ATTIC OCTOBER 30TH, 2008
ABOUT THE FILM In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, two filmmakers, drawn together by outrage, take a sixty-day road trip from New England to New Orleans. Along the way they meet evacuees and witness the loss, dignity, perseverance and humor of people who have become exiles in their own country. The breakdown of trust between a government and its citizens, the influence of race, class, and gender - as well as the ethics of documentary filmmaking itself - form the backdrop for this universal story of the search for home. For more information, visit http://www.theaxeintheattic.com. ABOUT THE SCREENING In 2003, Women in Film and Video/New England established a monthly screening series featuring acclaimed regional female directors, writers, cinematographers, and editors presenting and discussing their work. The screening series is hosted by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, through the support of its Women's and Gender Studies Program. Chicks Make Flicks premiered on Wednesday, Sept. 10, 2003, with Lucia Small screening her provocative and award-winning documentary, MY FATHER, THE GENIUS. This event is free and open to the public. Please RSVP to info@womeninfilmvideo.org.
