Alla Vita

[vc_row][vc_column width="1/2"][vc_column_text css_animation="none" css=""] 9 November 2024 7:00pm [su_spacer size="10"] Drama [su_button url="#" target="blank" style="flat" radius="0" background="#fa0f0c" color="#FFFFFF" size="6"]Tickets[/su_button]   [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=""] SYNOPSIS: The story of a young French ultra-Orthodox woman and a divorced Italian farmer who both long to break free. Even though she is deeply unhappy and desperate to leave the faith, Esther has accompanied her father on their annual trip to Southern Italy to harvest etrogim kosher lemons for the religious holiday of Sukkot. Elio, the non-Jewish owner of the farm, is grateful for their visit as it helps the farm financially. Alla Vita is a film that understands the power of subtlety. It isn't flashy or melodramatic, nor is it interested in undermining those who choose to live a life of devout faith. Instead, it's much more driven by its characters' desire for a life that is truly meant for them.

While playing at Carnegie Hall in 1936 Hubermanas violin is stolen. Forced to flee Europe at the onset of World War II, he emigrates to Israel where he establishes the Israeli National Orchestra (the present day Israeli Philharmonic Orchestra) and rescues hundreds of Jewish musicians from Nazi Europe. In this documentary, American violinist Joshua Bell reveals the compelling story of the violin, which was only recovered in 1985.   The ConspiracyA (Sunday, 12A November, 1:50pm) This startling animated documentary addresses an insidious, centuries-old conspiracy theory that continues to rear its ugly head today: the idea that Jews have a secret international plot to control the world. Filmmaker Maxim Pozdorovkin and a host of talented voice actors including Mayim Bialik, Liev Schreiber, Jason Alexander, and Ben Shenkman connect the dots of hate and fear, walking us through almost 250 years of antisemitic ideology, and focusing on how times of uncertainty give rise to hatred and increase anxieties in marginalized populations.
