This summer, Tuesday will be the night for Jewish flicks at the Southampton Arts Center. All the movies will celebrate the Jewish experience as a part of the Southampton Jewish Film Festival.
“The Mamboniks,” directed by Lex Gillespie, will screen on the festival’s special opening night on July 9. The 2019, American film tells a story of how Jewish and Latin culture met through the rise of mambo during a time that America was still segregated and anti-Semitism was common.
The festival will close out on August 20 with “Monsieur Mayonnaise.” The 2016 French film, directed by Trevor Graham, follows Australian artist and filmmaker Philippe Mora as he investigates his father’s role in the French Résistance in World War II and his mother’s escape en route to Auschwitz. He then embarks on a journey to create a comic book about his parents’ trials.
The movies will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, with $15 tickets available at brownpapertickets.com and at the door at the Southampton Arts Center, 25 Jobs Lane, Southampton Village.
Here’s the complete schedule:
July 9: “The Mamboniks”
