doing a piece on him, rather than attempting to discover more information to prove Lapshin's premise, only to confront him about it at the end.

Mintz said of the film, "I was approached by Roman Lapshin in 2017 about his claim that his grandfather, Russian painter, Vladimir Dvorkin had been exploited by established Israeli artist Oz Almog. I spent 6 months investigating the history of both artists. It was an archival research into the former Soviet Union, uncovering records where Vladimir Dvorkin was incarcerated in three prisons for 5 years. An investigation into the origins of Oz Almog?s work had to be done undercover without revealing the true nature of our story. Our journalistic ethics had to be carefully examined in our gathering of information with an emphasis on the controversial use of deceptive journalism."

Fi l m Rev i ew : " Portrayl "

By Rachel Gal vin Director Billie Mintz's documentary "Portrayal" presents two diverse worlds, taking place in two different countries. In Vienna, there is artist Oz Almog, an artist who revels in the macabre and sees the art world as a lonley business. In Toronto, a wide-eyed 24-year-old named Roman Lapshin dreams of being an artist like his grandfather, Vladimir Dvorkin.

Almog started his journey in art by creating dark themed pieces like crime scenes complete with blood, suicide bombings, pictures showing autoerotic fantasies turned fatal, Jewish gangsters and dead artists before getting increased acclaim for a series of portraits showcasing Jews in all different fields, entitled "Him too??' He got plenty of attention for his work. The problem was -- the work, it appears, was not his at all ... and that is where the conflict lies. You see, Roman Lapshin claims that all of those portraits claimed to have been made by Almog were really created by his grandfather, Vladimir Dvorkin, and sold to Almog.

The film centers around unveiling the world of both artists, but also focuses on interviewing Almog, who thinks the interviewer is just

The film was financed by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and The Rogers Fund. It made its Canadian premiere at the Calgary International Film Festival in October 2020 and its international premiere at the Jerusalem International Film Festival where it won the Schoumann Jewish Cinema Award. It also recently was in the Miami Jewish Film Festival. For more information, visit www.portrayalfilm.com. .

So Aharon takes Uri on an impossible adventure away from home, running away the best they can from the inevitable.

Fi l m Rev i ew : " Here We A re"

By Rachel Gal vin

It is a simple life ? the life lived by father and son Aharon and Uri. Two peas in a pod, the pair do everything together from riding their bicycles to shaving. It is a life filled with repetition and avoidance of change and seemingly dangerous situations that are really not dangerous at all, but certainly seem that way to Uri, who we discover is Autistic. Things like automatic sliding glass doors or the possibility of stepping on snails send him in a tailspin leaving his doting father scrambling to comfort him by things like offering to make his favorite dinner, making a joke or reminding him that the family fish will be waiting at home to greet them. It seems to work but sometimes not without Uri throwing a huge scene-making temper tantrum.

Despite the struggles of raising an Autistic son by himself, Aharon is content. The love between them is intense and real. When Uri's mother lays down the law and reminds Aharon that it is time to send Uri to a home more suited for his condition, Aharon is at his wits' end. What will he do? They could come take Uri away from him, which is the thing he cannot handle most.

Gatew ay Ci nema's Openi ng Week end

By Rachel Gal vin In the last issue, the cover story was about the historic Gateway Theatre in Ft. Lauderdale being leased by the Ft. Lauderdale International Film Festival (FLIFF). On Thursday, May 27, the theater officially opened with the screening of ?A Quiet Place 2,? with subsequent screenings of ?Cruella,?

"Perfect Candidate" and "Port Authority" over the Memorial Day weekend.

Gregory von Hausch, president & CEO of FLIFF, has big plans for the theater, he explained. He walked out front excitedly and pointed toward the skyward tower just above the marquee saying he envisions lights cascading upward on it to reach a Gregory von Hausch discusses changes he want s rotating spotlight at the top. Back on terra firma, Gat eway Cinema's st af f surrounds l ong-t ime t o impl ement t o t he Gat eway Cinema. manager George Kaspriske. he sees the outside entrance, which is now just cement, being transformed with terra-cotta or prints of handprints of the stars (like Grauman's Chinese Theater). He may also add some seating out front. Next door, where Mod Wine Lounge once stood, will soon be a Greek Restaurant. Inside, he plans to redo the concession stand in the middle of the lobby, making one half a high end bar with seating and the other half for regular concessions. Of course, the carpet will be redone and the walls painted, including covering the large stones above, which he says look like they are ?out of the Flintstones.? He also plans on tearing out a wall in the lobby that now makes for a little office before the box office area, in order to make the lobby bigger. The seating in the theaters was just redone, so he is keeping that as-is.

There is an upstairs area that was not really used that also needs a lot of work. He hopes one day it can be a green room with a separate area to bring in celebrities for events. These are just a few changes.

Long-time manager of the theater George Kaspriske says of the changes, ?I am looking forward to it. Last year, the place was shut down. It felt like 10 years. The place is old, but they plan to keep a vintage feel to it, but make it more modern.? He added that this was something that he had wanted to see happen for years. He also added, ?Some people say they have seen ghosts,? but he says he never has? Is there a haunted theater tour in the near future? Hmmm...The plot thickens?

At the opening weekend, there was a red carpet put up outside to welcome visitors, who happily bought concessions and went in to watch the movie, all eager to see what will come in the future, but more simply happy it is open once again.

The big thing with making these changes is that they need funds. They are selling T-shirts that promote the Gateway Theater and FLIFF, and will surely have other items for sale, but really are looking for corporate sponsors. Interested in lending a helping hand? Contact Greg@FLIFF.com.

Fi l m Rev i ew : " Th e A usch w i tz Report"

By Rachel Gal vin ?Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,?said Spanish Philosopher George Santayanaback in1905.This is a phrase often said, especially in reference to World War II and the holocaust, which ended up taking the lives of 6 million Jews and countless others deemed unworthy to live by the German Reich. If it weren't for the stories of the survivors who suffered these unimaginable acts, we would not know about what happened. Two Slovak Jewish prisoners, Rudolf Vrba and Alfred Wetzler, who escaped Auschwitz in April 1944 went on to relay what they saw, which eventually made to the media in Switzerland. What they created was called The Auschwitz Report, and their story has been turned into a powerful feature film directed by Peter Bebjak.

The film shows how people had their identities stripped away literally in the camps, their belongings torn from them, their hair shorn off, being told to forget their names and, instead, being tattooed with a number. Those who are the strongest survive only to be forced into hard labor. Those who are weak are killed. Every day is a battle for survival where access to even crumbs of bread can also mean life or

death. It is a brutal existence and escape is very difficult.These two brave prisoners know how important it is to get the truth about what is happening out to the world, but doing so seems impossible. With the help of others, they manage to keep track of the details. Then, they hide out, waiting for the right time to make their break.

In the meantime, fellow prisoners are interrogated as to their whereabouts, made to stand day and night without sustenance until someone breaks, but they are a determined bunch and stay the course the best they can. But not everyone will make it through the torture.

Once the duo is able to leave, thanks to their fellow inmates, they finally manage to cross the border and make it to the resistance and Red Cross. Their detailed report that they finally are able to relay seems too horrific to be true. It takes a long time to be published but is eventually broadcast to the world, but even then, it is redacted in parts.

This story, told in the Slovak language with English subtitles, is made more powerful with great cinematography, from close ups of the eyes of the men fearful for their lives, to the shot of the emaciated men standing in the bitter cold barely able to stand for fatigue and hunger.

The acting also is top notch.

Although, as in any Holocaust film, it is difficult to watch, it is important that the story of these brave men is told.

This film was recently shown at the Miami Jewish Film Festival.

Spot light : "Shepher d: The St or y of a Jew ish Dog"

By Rachel Gal vin St il l s by Pet er Nemeshazi/ JDog Fil ms At heart, this is a story about a boy and his dog, but, being that it was set beginning in 1930s Germany and going into World War II, it becomes much more complicated than that.

A Jewish family's dog has puppies and, one by one, the family begins Jacob (August Mat uro) giving them away because they simply cannot keep them all. In the & his dog Kal eb end, they are left with the mama dog and its baby Kaleb. But as the Nuremburg Laws begin to be put in place to suppress Jewish rights, including saying that Jews cannot own pets, they must decide what to do with the two that are left. The story follows the last dog to leave, Kaleb, the youngest son's beloved, as he goes on his own journey. Not everyone wants Kaleb and he dreams of the loving household he was forced to leave behind. He realizes his former family has gone away. Eventually, he becomes the property of an SS officer who shows him love and trains him to be the best dog in the bunch, which leads him to being sent with his new owner to the work camps. There, he is reunited with the youngest son, Jacob, and they have an adventure of their own.

The film was based on a book, which is not a true story, written by Asher Kravitz. It was adapted for film by Lynn Roth, who also directed the film.

Asked how she came across the book, Roth said that the story found

her. She explained, ?I was teaching a class in Israel, teaching kids how to pitch. A student came in with an idea that his friend was writing but he wanted me to know about it. The idea of a dog during the Shoah was too intriguing to let go.?

Before doing this film, she had made a film that was released in 2007 called ?Little Traitor,? which she said was very successful in South Florida. ?Still today, it is the longest running film that Movies of Delray ever had,? she said.

It took her eight years to get the funding together for the film ?Shepherd: The Story of a Jewish Dog,? which is a low budget independent film. They shot the entire film in Hungary and were able to use practical sets for everything, including the work camps, which had been used for movies in the past. She also found probably the most important aspect of the film in Hungary-- the dogs and, along with them, the dog trainers, who she said are the go-to people for anyone making a film in Europe. Since she lives in Los Angeles, the only way to check in on the training of the dogs was to do it via Zoom and emailed videos. It took a long time to do the training.

10

They rotated the dogs, using different ones for different actions? like growling, swimming, attacking, etc. But the main one used was the one used in the close-ups. The dog they wanted her to use did not make enough eye contact, she said, so she chose another.

There is a part near Shoshonna (Ayel et Zureur) the beginning of the film when the family sees many different types of dogs. and their owners and the dogs and people look alike! This was a funny moment, and the type of lighthearted feeling she hoped to achieve in that part of the film. ?I wanted it to be lighter in the beginning,? she said, hoping to show how the family was interacting with each other before things got really bad. Things were not perfect, but they were able to laugh and have fun with each other, but things progressively got worse. As far as finding dogs that matched up with the people, she said she found those dogs also in Hungary and matched the people to the dogs.

In order to achieve the truism needed for this period piece, Roth had to work long and hard to find the right props, wardrobe, etc. ?Every step of the way, we researched very carefully,? she said. In Hungary, again, she said she found ?a wonderful wardrobe person,? and was able to find everything else she needed.

They were able to make what she calls ?a miracle? film within only a month, and with a great aesthetic, very much like is often seen, she said, in European films.

The little boy in the movie, Jacob, played by August Maturo, becomes the lead actor in the film, along with the dog, Kaleb. Before doing this film, he had built quite the repetoire, including working on a TV series called ?Girl Meets World.? While that show was a comedy, this film required intense emotions, something Roth said was not difficult for the young actor, as his emotions were close to the surface. ?He feels very deeply,? she said.

Roth mentioned that his mother, Shoshonna, played by popular 11

Israeli actress Ayelet Zurer, is known for shows like ?Shtisel,? as well as ?Losing Alice? and films like ?Man of Steel,? among others.

Asked what she hopes people will come away with after seeing the film, Roth said, ?I hope people see ? what we can learn from animals. I learn so much from my dog ? loyalty, the ability the forgive, their joy?

We should study them more. Life would be better.?

She added that there is bad and good in people, but if there was more good, then life would also be better. ?There is not enough emphasis on on how to be good. It Writ er/ Direct or Lynn Rot h is not so hip to be bad. There is something to be said for bringing out the good in all of us.?

By Rachel Gal vin With tenacity and grit, Rita Moreno managed to find a place for herself in Hollywood. But the road to fame was not so easy. She tells her story candidly in the new documentary about her life, directed by Mariem Pérez, called ?Rita Moreno: Just a Girl Who Decided to Go For It.?

Her talent is undeniable. After all, she has been in the business for more than 70 years. She may be an EGOT (meaning she achieved an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony), but she is certainly humble, and extremely candid in this revealing film. The story is told not only with Moreno's own words, but other actors, friends and colleagues chiming in about how she has motivated and inspired her and how certain events affected her through the years.

Court esy of Phot o Fest

Moreno began her life in poverty in Puerto Rico and left to America with her mother at 5 years old, leaving her father and brother behind, whom she never saw again. She got her start as a dancer, and at a recital, she was discovered and taken on by MGM and put under contract. It was quite a coup and would lead her to become the breadwinner of the family by 16 years old, quite a responsibility.

She would find, however, despite how far she had come, she could only go so far, being held down in many ways because of her ethnicity and her gender. She was pigeon-holed into every ethnic role they could put her in, often using caked on makeup to make her darker and making her take on new accents to fit whatever role they deemed fit... not just Puerto Rican, but Native, Asian, an Island girl, and more. The racism was real and she experienced it in many ways, including segregation and harassment outside of the set.

She still found herself in countless movies and TV shows through the years, from epic films like ?Singin' in the Rain? and ?The King and I,? to children's shows like ?Sesame Street,? ?The Electric Company? and the ?Muppet Show.? She has done it all ? comedy, drama, musicals and more.

She is perhaps best known for her role as Anita in ?West Side Story,? a character who was vulnerable yet unafraid to speak her mind. Moreno saw a role model in this character. She later would find the courage to be outspoken herself, becoming an activist for various causes.

That was something that attracted her to actor Marlon Brando, with whom she had a tumultuous relationship that was very painful for her and led her to having an abortion and attempting suicide. But this was not the only difficulty she had dealing with men in this business.

Long before ?Me Too,? she was finding herself being treated much like a sex object. Not only was she often put in those types of roles, but she was forced, as a contract player, to go out on dates with men, for publicity. She found herself often harassed, groped and even raped. But she kept her mouth shut and persevered.

She would later settle down with Leonard Gordon, who has since died, and had a daughter, Fernanda Luisa.

Today, she is more than happy to be single and, at 89 years old, has found that her life and career have continued going on strong. Her show ?One Day at a Time,? which started in 2017, is currently looking for a new home, after being canceled from Netflix and Pop. But she is also playing Valentina in the new ?West Side Story,? directed by 13 Steven Spielberg.

This film not only tells the story of a talent who seems to have seen it all, but sheds a spotlight on the inner workings of Hollywood in the golden era and beyond. But, beyond that, it is a very human story, unveiling piece by piece a woman's life. The film showcases her courage against all odds and, more than anything, leaves you feeling inspired, maybe with a tear in your eye.

The grant was established to better enable U.S. based independent cinemas and distributors, affected by the pandemic, to showcase upcoming French film releases in the first half of 2021. ?We?re honored to have been chosen by UniFrance and a committee of film distributors to receive this grant that will help us bring two acclaimed French films to the South Florida community in July,? commented Javier Chavez, associate director of Coral Gables Art Cinema.

François Ozon?s SUMMER OF 85, a sexy, nostalgic reverie of first love and its consequences, from Music Box Films, will open July 16. The bittersweet teen romance was adapted by Ozon from Aidan Chambers?s groundbreaking LGBT young adult novel "Dance on My Grave".

When Alexis (Félix Lefebvre) capsizes off the coast of Normandy, David (Benjamin Voisin) comes to the rescue, and soon opens the younger boy?s eyes to a new horizon of friendship, art and sexual bliss. David?s worldly demeanor and Jewish heritage deliver an ardent jolt to Alexis?s traditional, working-class upbringing. After Alexis begins working at the seaside shop owned by David?s mother (Valeria Bruni Tedeschi), the two lovers steal every possible moment for a fugitive kiss, a motorcycle ride or a trip to the cinema. Their relationship is soon rocked by a host of challenges, and a romantic oath that transcends life itself. Their summer fling lasts just six weeks, but casts a shadow over a lifetime.
