Filmmaker Henya Brodbeker documents her and her husband’s struggle to provide an education and social connections for Ari, their autistic son. When the Haredi Orthodox schools in Bnei-Brak refuse to accept their son, Henya and Arale begin questioning their faith and the choices imposed upon them by their community. Their journey for integration and acceptance takes them into secular Israel, where they discover new challenges – and, possibly, solutions – for their family. Brodbeker’s camera captures the religious and cultural transformation of a family looking for their place in the world.
Stefcia, a Jewish actress with a theater company in the Warsaw Ghetto, must make several major life decisions, including whether to escape, in the midst of a stage performance. This drama features an international cast and crew and incorporates the book and lyrics of Jerzy Jurandot’s musical Love Gets a Room, which was performed inside the Warsaw Ghetto. Moving nimbly between the stage, the theater corridors, and the bleak ghetto outside, Love Gets a Room balances life-and-death struggle with the art we create to survive and transcend it.
