Film On The Bund In Israel (2011)
7:30 p.m.
Dear comrades and friends,
On May Day 2006 I was invited to celebrate with the members of the 'Bund' in Israel, I took my video camera and thought it will be a one-time occasion but it became a five and half year political and personal journey.
Unlike my previous films ('Matzpen' and 'Madrid before Hanita', about the volunteers to the International Brigades in Spain), my requests for financial support from funding bodies and broadcasters were rejected.
Despite this, I knew I had to continue filming, researching and editing. Finally, today, through the support of some friends, modest financial support from Yiddish and research institutes and many loans I succeeded in completing the film.
I'm happy to say that the last survivors of the 'Bund' like it very much and I'm very proud of it. Attached is a link to the opening of the film:

Gig: Bridget Hayden
8:00 p.m.
Using just a guitar, two pedals and a 4-track, Hayden succeeds in creating a surprisingly dense sound, yet with the softness and patience to lull one into an enchanting trance. This music could be described as "drone" or "noise". She herself has described her music as "fucked-up Blues", which makes more sense. More »
