Monday Night at the Movies
On April 15th at 1:00 and 7:00 we'll be showing The Flat at the Women's Library Club, 325 Tudor Ct., as part of our Monday Night at the Movies program. At age 98, director Arnon Goldfinger's grandmother passed away, leaving him the task of clearing out the Tel Aviv flat that she and her husband shared for decades since immigrating from Nazi Germany in the 1930s. Sifting through a dense mountain of photos, letters, files, and objects, Goldfinger begins to uncover clues that seem to point to a greater mystery and soon a complicated family history unfolds before his camera. All Monday Night at the Movies films are free.
