WORLDS WITHIN A WORLD: CONVERSATIONS WITH YIDDISH WRITERS

BEYLE SCHAECHTER-GOTTESMAN: SONG OF AUTUMN

[The untershames apologizes for the extraneous chevrons in the English 
text and the very ragged right margins.]

>   The League for Yiddish is pleased to announce that the film Beyle Schaechter
Gottesman: Song of
> Autumn (Beyle Shekhter-Gotesman: Harbstlid), the second film in our series
Worlds within a
> World:
> Conversations with Yiddish Writers (A velt mit veltelekh: shmuesn mit yidishe
shraybers) is
> ready
> and available for viewing and purchase.
>   Beyle Schaechter Gottesman: Song of Autumn is an edited interview conducted
with this
> remarkable
> Yiddish poet, songwriter, and singer by her son, folklorist/journalist Itsik
Gottesman, and
> enhanced by photo stills and Schaechter-Gottesman's music. The film is 72
minutes long. The
> interview is entirely in Yiddish WITH VERY ACCURATE AND COMPLETE ENGLISH
SUBTITLES.
>   In Song of Autumn, BEYLE, whose name has become synonymous with modern
Yiddish song and who has
> played a central role in revivng and inspiring interest in Yiddish song and
poetry among a whole
> new generation of artists, discusses her life and creative path: her
upbringing in the Yiddish
> cultural milieu of Tshernevits (then Romania) as the daughter of a remarkable
traditional folk
> singer and a passionate Yiddishist, the war years in Romania,her development
as a modern Yiddish
> poet and songwriter in New York, and her views on Yiddish literature and
creativity. What
> emerges
> is a rich picture of the world of a woman who recited poetry to the great
Yiddish fabulist
> Eliezer
> Shteynbarg as a child, was part of a vibrant Yiddish enclave in the Bronx, and
is the only
> Yiddish
> poet ever to be awarded a National Heritage Fellowship from the National
Endowment for the Arts,
> America’s top honor for folk arts.
>   Highlights include Beyle's reciting several of her poems as well as singing
several of her own
> songs, among them the favorites,"Mayn khaverte Mintsye" (My Friend Mintsye)
and "Borekh-habo
> dir, khaver" (Welcome, My Friend).

DIRECTOR
  The film is directed and edited by Josh Waletzky, director  and editor of
Image before My Eyes
> and Partisans of Vilna. Among other awards, Waletzky is the recipient of the
Silver Ducat at the
> Mannheim International Film Festival for Image and First Prize at the
Anthropos International
> Film
> Festival for Partisans.

THE PROJECT
   Worlds within a World: Conversations with Yiddish Writers aims to provide a
visual and oral
> document of prominent contemporary Yiddish writers so that present and future
generations can
> "spend time" with these fascinating figures and gain some insight into their
work and milieu.
> Thus
> far, in addition to Schaechter-Gottesman, we have filmed Itche Goldberg,
painter/writer Yonia
> Fain, and poet/novelist Chava Rosenfarb.

Yiddish Letters
> (ITSHE
> GOLDBERG: OYB NIT NOKH HEKHER) on Yiddish educator, essayist, literary critic,
