Thursday, July 16, 6:30pm, Little Theatre THE MONSTER AMONG US Directors: Allen Mondell and Cynthia Salzman Mondell, US, 2008, 87 min., English A new brand of anti-Semitism has reared its ugly head in Europe. It has the same purpose, but a different face. It is directly connected to radical, extremist beliefs and violent actions that have spread through Europe. It has surfaced on university campuses, in the media, on the streets, on the internet, and in seemingly innocent social situations. Jews from all walks of life in six different European countries tell of being attacked in their neighborhoods, of cemeteries desecrated, of synagogues burned, and of being ostracized. Young and old describe their fears and their plans for the uncertain future. POST-FILM DISCUSSION WITH SPECIAL GUESTS: Filmmakers Allen Mondell and Cynthia Salzman Mondell. Generously underwritten by Israel Bonds. Back to film festival schedule »
