Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to partner with the Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley to present a free screening of “The Catskills” on Sunday, July 28 at 4:00 p.m. at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre.
“The Catskills” is a feature-length documentary film on the rise and fall of the Borscht Belt.
With a trove of lost-and-found archival footage and a cast of characters endowed with the gift of gab, “The Catskills” journeys into the storied mountain getaway north of New York City that served as refuge for Jewish immigrants fleeing poverty as well as a lavish playground for affluent Jewish families.
Stand-up comedians share their best shtick while former waiters, entertainers, and dance instructors recount tales of the family-run resorts and bungalows that inspired films like “Dirty Dancing.”
“The Catskills” will be shown at the Mary D. Fisher Theatre on Sunday, July 28 at 4:00 p.m. All tickets are free of charge, sponsored by the Jewish Community of Sedona and the Verde Valley.
For free tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.
