My Father My Lord
(Israel, 2007, 73 minutes Hebrew with English subtitles Director: David Volach)
Sunday, September 7, 10 am, Cedar Lee Theatre
Winner of Best Narrative Film at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival, My Father My Lord is a quiet, intense film of shattering power. Filmmaker David Volach drew upon his background as one of 19 children in an ultra-Orthodox Jerusalem family to create this tale of a revered rabbi’s effort to impart his deep faith to his young son. Framed as a variation on the biblical stories of Job and the binding of Isaac, the haunting drama features the brilliant Assi Dayan (son of Moshe) as a true believer forced to confront the irreconcilable demands of faith and family.
A discussion led by Siegal College faculty will follow the screening.
