Upper West Side FilmLinc’s “Hollywood’s ‘Jew Wave’” Series Starts Today
Great 10-day film series kicking off at the Film Society Of Lincoln Center today (West 65th, between Broadway & Amsterdam).
In addition rare big-screen showings of classics like Annie Hall, The Producers, and Funny Girl (to name just a few), some screenings include Q & A sessions with the likes of Charles Grodin, Elliott Gould, and others.
The series runs from today through November 13th. Per FilmLinc:
For a not-so-brief moment in the late 1960s and early ’70s, a new wave of Jewish leading men and women (including Dustin Hoffman, Elliott Gould, George Segal and Barbra Streisand) took Hollywood by storm, emerging among the most popular stars of the era and appearing in many films that, per the critic J. Hoberman, “featured a hitherto unspeakable degree of Jewish content.” A vital subset of the storied “new” Hollywood cinema of the post-Easy Rider era, and of the broader Jewish-American cultural revival simultaneously occurring in literature (Philip Roth, Saul Bellow) and other segments of pop culture, Hollywood’s “Jew Wave” forever changed the landscape of mainstream American movies and blazed the trail for such Jewish stars of today as James Franco, Natalie Portman, Seth Rogen, and Adam Sandler. Series co-programmed by Scott Foundas and J. Hoberman.
