American Stories: Food, Family and Philosophy

Directed by Chantal Akerman

With Mark Amitin, Eszter Balint, Stephan Balint, Judith Malina and Kirk Baltz

An exploration of Jewish American identity in a multilayered portrait of the immigrant experience. A series of first-person addresses delivered by a cross-section of Jewish New Yorkers, whose by turns tragic and humourous tales speak to a collective history of trauma, displacement, and resilience.
