I know that this is the time of year when many list members travel to Bukovina.
So, especially for those of you who will be in or near Czernowitz on July 23,
The Chernivtsi Museum of the History and Culture of Bukovinian Jews
has organized and is hosting a screening of
A Shtetl in the Caribbean at the cinema in the old Jewish temple in Chernivtsi.
As some of you already know, this full length documentary by Dutch
director Sherman de Jesus
follows two childhood friends from Curacao (me and Tsale Kirzner) as
we return to our fathers' birthplaces in Ukraine and Belarus.
Of special interest to members of this list are scenes filmed in and
archival footage of Chernivtsi, Vashkivtsi and Wiznitz,
and the tropical island of Curacao where our parents, and many others
from Bukovina, found refuge before and after WWII.
Although the producers plan to release Russian and other language
versions in the future,
this showing for students of the summer camp and any residents who
speak English will screen with English subtitles.
Please contact the museum in Chernivtsi for the specific time of and
admission to the screening.
I will keep the list posted when other screenings are planned of the film,
which so far has been shown in the Netherlands, Curacao, as well as
Ischia (Italy) and India,
where it won an award for Best Feature Documentary at the Dada Saheb
Phalke Film Festival in New Delhi.
