The first public screening of the new Yiddish film with English subtitles,
When Our Bubbas and Zeydas Were Young  - The Schaechter Sisters on Stage,
featuring Di Shekhter-tekhter (Reyna and Temma Schaechter)
will be shown tomorrow evening, Wednesday, October 31, 2012 at 7:30 PM sharp,
at Haverford College, 370 Lancaster Ave, Haverford PA 19041,
in the Chase Hall Auditorium.

Admission: free.  All are welcome!
(If you can't make it, you can still order the DVD.  See below.)

The film is directed and produced by Academy-Award-nominated
documentary filmmaker Josh Waletzky.

The film has been selected for the Ashkenaz Festival in Toronto,
Miami Jewish Film Festival and the Montreal International Yiddish
Theatre Festival.

It is expected that Binyumen Schaechter, Musical Director and
Executive Producer of the film and father of Di Shekhter-tekhter
will be on hand for the Haverford Screening. If so, part of the
documentary film / concert video will be screened
and then Schaechter will talk about the making of the film and answer
questions. And copies of the DVD will then be available for purchase
after the film.

If Schaechter is not able to make it in from NYC (following Hurricane
Sandy), the entire film will be screened.
Either way, it will be worth the trip for this event.
Directions below.

If you can't make it to the screening, you can order the DVD from the
Distributor,
Ergo Media, http://ergomedia.com/  Phone: 201-692-0404  info at jewishvideo.com
PO Box 2037, Teaneck, NJ 07666-1437

Directions to the Haverford screening: If arriving by car, enter the
campus by the College Avenue entrance, and park in any spot marked
FACULTY/STAFF on the right of the driveway.  To find Chase Hall,
continue on the driveway until you reach the end of the building on
your left (Stokes Hall).  Turn left and follow the path up a gentle
slope to a stone building with a few steps outside its double-door
entrance–– this is Chase Hall.  We’re in the first floor in the back
of the building.  There is an entrance without steps around the right
hand side.

For more information: see our website http://www.haverford.edu/ycf/ or
contact Jeff Tecosky-Feldman (jtecosky at haverford.edu).

This event is part of Haverford College's "Yiddish Culture Festival
2012", in memoriam Seth Brody.  This free, informal gathering meets
periodically to enjoy film, music and speakers encompassing all things
Yiddish.  It is not necessary to speak or understand Yiddish to fully
enjoy these events. Meetings are held Wednesdays at 7:30pm (promptly!)
 in Chase Hall Auditorium.  Organizers:  Professors Dan Gillis, Mel
Santer, Jeff Tecosky-Feldman.
