Sedona News – The Sedona International Film Festival is proud to present the Northern Arizona premiere of “SHTTL” showing June 28-July 4 at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre.
A filmmaker returns from Kyiv to his rural village to marry the love of his life. He is expected to marry the Rabbi’s daughter, which disrupts the balance of the whole town.
In one unflinching shot, this film presents a day in the life of a Jewish village before it disappears.
“SHTTL” is the story of the inhabitants of a Yiddish Ukrainian village at the border of Poland, 24 hours before the Nazi invasion, known as Operation Barbarossa.
Today, there are no such villages in existence; the production fully reconstructed a traditional ‘Shtetl’ outside of Kyiv, which is planned to be turned into a museum.
“A masterpiece. Insightful, beautiful and completely unforgettable. An exquisite testament to those beautiful lives that never came to be.” — Barry Levitt, iFilm
