IJV Canada in collaboration with our scholar-in-residence Amir Locker-Biletzki invites you to a series of three films directed by Eran Torbiner that reflect three historical episodes of Jewish Socialist and anti-Zionists’ internationalist struggles.
October 12: Bundaim
October 19: Madrid before Hanita
October 26: Matzpen
All events take place from 7-9pm ET
Bundaim is the first screening, taking place on October 12th.
The film gives a moving portrayal of the history of The General Jewish Labour Bund in Lithuania, Poland and Russia. The Bund was founded in 1897 in a small attic in Vilnius out of study circles of Jewish workers who gathered together to learn the writings of Marx, and the film Bundaim follows this history to the last remaining branch of the Bund movement in Israel.The screening will be introduced by Amir placing the bund movement in its historical context and will be followed by a conversation with the audience.Register here: And dont miss the following screenings every Tuesday in October (registration links tba)!
