A still from “Our Neighbour’s Ass,” the first film of The Berkshire Jewish Film Festival, screening at 3:30 p.m. Monday, July 6.
Editor’s note: This event has already taken place.
PITTSFIELD, Mass. – The Berkshire Jewish Film Festival, noting its 40th season, will run this year for six consecutive Mondays, from July 6 to Aug.10. Films will be shown at the Duffin Theater, Lenox Memorial Middle and High School, 197 East St., Lenox, Mass. Films will be shown at 3:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. and afternoon and evening films will be different films.
The first week. Monday, July 6, will feature at 3:30 p.m. “Our Neighbour’s Ass.” which tells the tale of Ida who inherits her late husband’s beloved donkey Pablo and she inherits his chaos too. From pre-dawn braying to eaten shrubbery, Pablo has made himself the most infamous resident in the neighborhood. The movie “Rosenthal The Great Showman” follows. In 1978 West Germany, Hans Rosenthal is the nation’s most beloved TV host, adored by millions. But he carries a secret. When a celebration of the anniversary of his blockbuster game show is scheduled for November 9th, the 40th anniversary of Kristallnacht, he is expected to entertain millions rather than attend Germany’s first official memorial. This biographical drama depicts Rosenthal’s reckoning with his buried past.
At 7:30 p.m. “The Stage Is Ours” will showcase nearly 50 of Broadway’s Jewish voices at the Lyceum Theatre to reflect on what it means to tell Jewish stories on stage. The documentary “Tovah,” a biography of Tovah Feldshuh, brings together an extraordinary constellation of admirers to celebrate a woman whose range extends from playing Golda Meir on stage to having a recurring role on the Netflix show Nobody Wants This.

<em>“Tatami,”</em> inspired by real events, screens at 7:30 p.m. Monday, July 13.
The 3:30 p.m. film on July 13 will be “The Road Between Us.” It depicts when and after Hamas terrorists storm retired Israeli general Noam Tibon son’s kibbutz on October 7, 2023. He receives a desperate WhatsApp message: his son, daughter-in-law, and two young granddaughters are trapped in a panic room, listening to gunfire closing in. Noam and his wife Gali arm themselves and drive 10 harrowing hours across a country under siege, fighting through ambushes and chaos to reach their family.
The evening film “Tatami” relates, in he first film co-directed by an Israeli and an Iranian filmmaker, how Iranian judo athlete Leila arrives at the Judo World Championships with the prospect of winning her country’s first-ever gold medal. Inspired by true events.
Ticket and other season information may be obtained at berkshirejewishfilmfestival.org. Tickets, $15, can be purchased only at the box office on the day of the film. A season pass is sold for $150.
